commit 689a0a9f505f7bffdefe6f17fddb41c8ab6344f6 upstream.

Without the patch we fail:

$ sudo brctl addbr br0
$ sudo brctl addif br0 wlp1s0
$ sudo iw wlp1s0 set 4addr on
command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)

Last command failed but iface was already in 4addr mode.

commit 09b1d5dc6ce1c9151777f6c4e128a59457704c97 upstream.

The management registrations locking was broken, the list was
locked for each wdev, but cfg80211_mgmt_registrations_update()
iterated it without holding all the correct spinlocks, causing
list corruption.

Rather than trying to fix it with fine-grained locking, just
move the lock to the wiphy/rdev (still need the list on each
wdev), we already need to hold the wdev lock to change it, so
there's no contention on the lock in any case. This trivially
fixes the bug since we hold one wdev's lock already, and now
will hold the lock that protects all lists.

commit a2083eeb119fb9307258baea9b7c243ca9a2e0b6 upstream.

The SSID pointer is pointing to RCU protected data, so we
need to have it under rcu_read_lock() for the entire use.
Fix this.

commit f9a5c358c8d26fed0cc45f2afc64633d4ba21dff upstream.

When we exceed the limit of BSS entries, this function will free the
new entry, however, at this time, it is the last door to access the
inputed ies, so these ies will be unreferenced objects and cause memory
leak.
Therefore we should free its ies before deallocating the new entry, beside
of dropping it from hidden_list.

In 2G band, a HE sta can only supports HT and HE, but not supports VHT.
In this case, default HE tx bitrate mask isn't filled, when we use iw to

<title>wireless: wext-spy: Fix out-of-bounds warning</title>

[ Upstream commit e93bdd78406da9ed01554c51e38b2a02c8ef8025 ]

Fix the following out-of-bounds warning:

net/wireless/wext-spy.c:178:2: warning: 'memcpy' offset [25, 28] from the object at 'threshold' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'low' with type 'struct iw_quality' at offset 20 [-Warray-bounds]

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a
couple of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to
memcpy(). This causes a legitimate compiler warning because memcpy()
overruns the length of &amp;threshold.low and &amp;spydata-&gt;spy_thr_low. As
these are just a couple of struct members, fix this by using direct
assignments, instead of memcpy().

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().

[ Upstream commit a64b6a25dd9f984ed05fade603a00e2eae787d2f ]

If the userland switches back-and-forth between NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB and
NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE), there is a
chance where the cleanup cfg80211_leave_ocb() is not called. This leads
to initialization of in-use memory (e.g. init u.ibss while in-use by
u.ocb) due to a shared struct/union within ieee80211_sub_if_data:

struct ieee80211_sub_if_data {
    ...
    union {
        struct ieee80211_if_ap ap;
        struct ieee80211_if_vlan vlan;
        struct ieee80211_if_managed mgd;
        struct ieee80211_if_ibss ibss; // &lt;- shares address
        struct ieee80211_if_mesh mesh;
        struct ieee80211_if_ocb ocb; // &lt;- shares address
        struct ieee80211_if_mntr mntr;
        struct ieee80211_if_nan nan;
    } u;
    ...
}

Therefore add handling of otype == NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB, during
cfg80211_change_iface() to perform cleanup when leaving OCB mode.

commit 0288e5e16a2e18f0b7e61a2b70d9037fc6e4abeb upstream.

If cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() moves all the PMSR requests that
need to be freed into a local list before aborting and freeing them.
As a result, it is possible that cfg80211_pmsr_complete() will run in
parallel and free the same PMSR request.

Fix it by freeing the request in cfg80211_pmsr_complete() only if it
is still in the original pmsr list.

commit b5642479b0f7168fe16d156913533fe65ab4f8d5 upstream.

If all net/wireless/certs/*.hex files are deleted, the build
will hang at this point since the 'cat' command will have no
arguments. Do "echo | cat - ..." so that even if the "..."
part is empty, the whole thing won't hang.

<title>cfg80211: mitigate A-MSDU aggregation attacks</title>

commit 2b8a1fee3488c602aca8bea004a087e60806a5cf upstream.

Mitigate A-MSDU injection attacks (CVE-2020-24588) by detecting if the
destination address of a subframe equals an RFC1042 (i.e., LLC/SNAP)
header, and if so dropping the complete A-MSDU frame. This mitigates
known attacks, although new (unknown) aggregation-based attacks may
remain possible.

This defense works because in A-MSDU aggregation injection attacks, a
normal encrypted Wi-Fi frame is turned into an A-MSDU frame. This means
the first 6 bytes of the first A-MSDU subframe correspond to an RFC1042
header. In other words, the destination MAC address of the first A-MSDU
subframe contains the start of an RFC1042 header during an aggregation
attack. We can detect this and thereby prevent this specific attack.
For details, see Section 7.2 of "Fragment and Forge: Breaking Wi-Fi
Through Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation".

Note that for kernel 4.9 and above this patch depends on "mac80211:
properly handle A-MSDUs that start with a rfc1042 header". Otherwise
this patch has no impact and attacks will remain possible.
