commit 5667c86acf021e6dcf02584408b4484a273ac68f upstream.

Mesh forwarding path checks for address extension mode to fetch
appropriate proxied address and MPP address. Existing condition
that looks for 6 address format is not strict enough so that
frames with improper values are processed and invalid entries
are added into MPP table. Fix that by adding a stricter check before
processing the packet.

Per IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 spec. Table 7-6g1 lists address extension
mode 0x3 as reserved one. And also Table Table 9-13 does not specify
0x3 as valid address field.

commit 3018e947d7fd536d57e2b550c33e456d921fff8c upstream.

AP/AP_VLAN modes don't accept any real 802.11 multicast data
frames, but since they do need to accept broadcast management
frames the same is currently permitted for data frames. This
opens a security problem because such frames would be decrypted
with the GTK, and could even contain unicast L3 frames.

Since the spec says that ToDS frames must always have the BSSID
as the RA (addr1), reject any other data frames.

The problem was originally reported in "Predicting, Decrypting,
and Abusing WPA2/802.11 Group Keys" at usenix
https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity16/technical-sessions/presentation/vanhoef
and brought to my attention by Jouni.

commit da7061c82e4a1bc6a5e134ef362c86261906c860 upstream.

The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset &lt; ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh-&gt;ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh-&gt;ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.

<title>mac80211: discard multicast and 4-addr A-MSDUs</title>

commit ea720935cf6686f72def9d322298bf7e9bd53377 upstream.

In mac80211, multicast A-MSDUs are accepted in many cases that
they shouldn't be accepted in:
 * drop A-MSDUs with a multicast A1 (RA), as required by the
   spec in 9.11 (802.11-2012 version)
 * drop A-MSDUs with a 4-addr header, since the fourth address
   can't actually be useful for them; unless 4-address frame
   format is actually requested, even though the fourth address
   is still not useful in this case, but ignored

Accepting the first case, in particular, is very problematic
since it allows anyone else with possession of a GTK to send
unicast frames encapsulated in a multicast A-MSDU, even when
the AP has client isolation enabled.

commit 0ef049dc1167fe834d0ad5d63f89eddc5c70f6e4 upstream.

When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, the sta_info_insert_finish
function consumes more stack than normally, exceeding the
1024 byte limit on ARM:

net/mac80211/sta_info.c: In function 'sta_info_insert_finish':
net/mac80211/sta_info.c:561:1: error: the frame size of 1080 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

It turns out that there are two functions that put a 'struct station_info'
on the stack: __sta_info_destroy_part2 and sta_info_insert_finish, and
this structure alone requires up to 792 bytes.

Hoping that both are called rarely enough, this replaces the
on-stack structure with a dynamic allocation, which unfortunately
requires some suboptimal error handling for out-of-memory.

The __sta_info_destroy_part2 function is actually affected by the
stack usage twice because it calls cfg80211_del_sta_sinfo(), which
has another instance of struct station_info on its stack.

commit 7a36b930e6ed4702c866dc74a5ad07318a57c688 upstream.

The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to
save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited
number of concurrent aggregation sessions.

Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need
this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been
recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with
ath9k. This should improve stability without causing any adverse
effects.

commit f39ea2690bd61efec97622c48323f40ed6e16317 upstream.

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc for struct tid_ampdu_rx to
initialize the "removed" field (all others are initialized
manually). That fixes:

commit f39ea2690bd61efec97622c48323f40ed6e16317 upstream.

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc for struct tid_ampdu_rx to
initialize the "removed" field (all others are initialized
manually). That fixes:

While at it, convert to use sizeof(*tid_agg_rx) instead.

<title>mac80211: mesh: fix call_rcu() usage</title>

commit c2e703a55245bfff3db53b1f7cbe59f1ee8a4339 upstream.

When using call_rcu(), the called function may be delayed quite
significantly, and without a matching rcu_barrier() there's no
way to be sure it has finished.
Therefore, global state that could be gone/freed/reused should
never be touched in the callback.

Fix this in mesh by moving the atomic_dec() into the caller;
that's not really a problem since we already unlinked the path
and it will be destroyed anyway.

This fixes a crash Jouni observed when running certain tests in
a certain order, in which the mesh interface was torn down, the
memory reused for a function pointer (work struct) and running
that then crashed since the pointer had been decremented by 1,
resulting in an invalid instruction byte stream.

commit 8ec6d97871f37e4743678ea4a455bd59580aa0f4 upstream.

The ifmgd-&gt;ave_beacon_signal value cannot be taken as is for
comparisons, it must be divided by since it's represented
like that for better accuracy of the EWMA calculations. This
would lead to invalid driver RSSI events. Fix the used value.
