      cfg80211: ignore netif running state when changing iftype · 6cbfb1bb
      Michal Kazior authored
      It was possible for mac80211 to be coerced into an
      unexpected flow causing sdata union to become
      corrupted. Station pointer was put into
      sdata->u.vlan.sta memory location while it was
      really master AP's sdata->u.ap.next_beacon. This
      led to station entry being later freed as
      next_beacon before __sta_info_flush() in
      ieee80211_stop_ap() and a subsequent invalid
      pointer dereference crash.
      
      The problem was that ieee80211_ptr->use_4addr
      wasn't cleared on interface type changes.
      
      This could be reproduced with the following steps:
      
       # host A and host B have just booted; no
       # wpa_s/hostapd running; all vifs are down
       host A> iw wlan0 set type station
       host A> iw wlan0 set 4addr on
       host A> printf 'interface=wlan0\nssid=4addrcrash\nchannel=1\nwds_sta=1' > /tmp/hconf
       host A> hostapd -B /tmp/conf
       host B> iw wlan0 set 4addr on
       host B> ifconfig wlan0 up
       host B> iw wlan0 connect -w hostAssid
       host A> pkill hostapd
       # host A crashed:

      mac80211: prevent possible crypto tx tailroom corruption · ab499db8
      Michal Kazior authored
      There was a possible race between
      ieee80211_reconfig() and
      ieee80211_delayed_tailroom_dec(). This could
      result in inability to transmit data if driver
      crashed during roaming or rekeying and subsequent
      skbs with insufficient tailroom appeared.
      
      This race was probably never seen in the wild
      because a device driver would have to crash AND
      recover within 0.5s which is very unlikely.
      
      I was able to prove this race exists after
      changing the delay to 10s locally and crashing
      ath10k via debugfs immediately after GTK
      rekeying. In case of ath10k the counter went below
      0. This was harmless but other drivers which
      actually require tailroom (e.g. for WEP ICV or
      MMIC) could end up with the counter at 0 instead
      of >0 and introduce insufficient skb tailroom
      failures because mac80211 would not resize skbs
      appropriately anymore.
      
      Fixes: 8d1f7ecd ("mac80211: defer tailroom counter manipulation when roaming")

      cfg80211: properly send NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP in disconnect · 80279fb7
      Johannes Berg authored
      When we disconnect from the AP, drivers call cfg80211_disconnect().
      This doesn't know whether the disconnection was initiated locally
      or by the AP though, which can cause problems with the supplicant,
      for example with WPS. This issue obviously doesn't show up with any
      mac80211 based driver since mac80211 doesn't call this function.
      
      Fix this by requiring drivers to indicate whether the disconnect is
      locally generated or not. I've tried to update the drivers, but may
      not have gotten the values correct, and some drivers may currently
      not be able to report correct values. In case of doubt I left it at
      false, which is the current behaviour.
      
      For libertas, make adjustments as indicated by Dan Williams.
