wifi: mac80211_hwsim: authenticate PMSR report senders
hwsim_pmsr_report_nl() looks up the radio by HWSIM_ATTR_ADDR_TRANSMITTER
and, when data->pmsr_request is set, parses the reported peer results,
hands them to cfg80211_pmsr_report(), then unconditionally clears
data->pmsr_request and calls cfg80211_pmsr_complete() to end the
measurement.
Unlike the sibling wmediumd data-path handlers
hwsim_tx_info_frame_received_nl() and hwsim_cloned_frame_received_nl(),
which check the sending socket's netgroup against data->netgroup and its
portid against data->wmediumd, this handler did not check the sender at
all, and its genl op carries no GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM flag. In non-virtio
(wmediumd) mode any process in the netns that can reach the hwsim
generic netlink family could therefore send a report. The transmitter
address is not secret, so such a process could inject spoofed ranging
results for another radio's in-flight request and, because the handler
always completes the measurement, terminate a ranging operation owned by
the real wmediumd session.
Reject reports whose sender does not match the registered wmediumd
instance, mirroring the sibling handlers: in non-virtio mode require
the sending socket's netgroup to equal data->netgroup and
info->snd_portid to equal data->wmediumd before touching the request
state.
