That helper only verifies the\nframe is long enough for the action category field, that is\noffsetofend(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u.action.category), 25 bytes. Both\nfunctions then read the P2P public action header up to oui_subtype at\noffset 30 and pass \"size - ie_offset\" to cfg80211_find_vendor_ie(), where\nie_offset is offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u) + sizeof(*d), i.e. 32.\n\nA public action frame of 25 to 31 bytes passes the check but is shorter\nthan that 32 byte header, so oui_subtype can be read out of bounds, and\nbecause the length is unsigned, \"size - ie_offset\" underflows to a value\nclose to 4 GiB. cfg80211_find_vendor_ie() takes an unsigned int length,\nso even the size_t subtraction in mgmt_tx() is truncated to the same\nvalue. It then walks far past the buffer searching for a vendor element\nuntil it reaches unmapped memory.\n\nIn the receive path the frame arrives over the air and needs no\nassociation, so a nearby unauthenticated device can crash the host while\nit is in P2P listen. Reject frames shorter than the P2P public action\nheader in both paths before dereferencing it.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
