commit 6a0e78072c2ae7b20b14e0249d8108441ea928d2 upstream.

The Add Advertising command handler does the appropriate checks for
the AD and Scan Response data, however fails to take into account the
general length of the mgmt command itself, which could lead to
potential buffer overflows. This patch adds the necessary check that
the mgmt command length is consistent with the given ad and scan_rsp
lengths.

<title>mac80211: Fix Public Action frame RX in AP mode</title>

commit 1ec7bae8bec9b72e347e01330c745ab5cdd66f0e upstream.

Public Action frames use special rules for how the BSSID field (Address
3) is set. A wildcard BSSID is used in cases where the transmitter and
recipient are not members of the same BSS. As such, we need to accept
Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID.

Commit db8e17324553 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when
operating as AP") added a rule that drops Action frames to TDLS-peers
based on an Action frame having different DA (Address 1) and BSSID
(Address 3) values. This is not correct since it misses the possibility
of BSSID being a wildcard BSSID in which case the Address 1 would not
necessarily match.

Fix this by allowing mac80211 to accept wildcard BSSID in an Action
frame when in AP mode.

<title>mac80211: check PN correctly for GCMP-encrypted fragmented MPDUs</title>

commit 9acc54beb474c81148e2946603d141cf8716b19f upstream.

Just like for CCMP we need to check that for GCMP the fragments
have PNs that increment by one; the spec was updated to fix this
security issue and now has the following text:

	The receiver shall discard MSDUs and MMPDUs whose constituent
	MPDU PN values are not incrementing in steps of 1.

Adapt the code for CCMP to work for GCMP as well, luckily the
relevant fields already alias each other so no code duplication
is needed (just check the aliasing with BUILD_BUG_ON.)

commit c36dd3eaf1a674a45b58b922258d6eaa8932e292 upstream.

RTS/CTS needs to be enabled if the rate is a fallback rate *or* if it's
a dual-stream rate and the sta is in dynamic SMPS mode.

<title>mac80211: minstrel_ht: set default tx aggregation timeout to 0</title>

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 212c5a5e6ba61678be6b5fee576e38bccb50b613 upstream.

The change from cur_tp to the function
minstrel_get_tp_avg/minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg changed the unit used for the
current throughput. For example in minstrel_ht the correct
conversion between them would be:

    mrs-&gt;cur_tp / 10 == minstrel_ht_get_tp_avg(..).

This factor 10 must also be included in the calculation of
minstrel_get_expected_throughput and minstrel_ht_get_expected_throughput to
return values with the unit [Kbps] instead of [10Kbps]. Otherwise routing
algorithms like B.A.T.M.A.N. V will make incorrect decision based on these
values. Its kernel based implementation expects expected_throughput always
to have the unit [Kbps] and not sometimes [10Kbps] and sometimes [Kbps].

The same requirement has iw or olsrdv2's nl80211 based statistics module
which retrieve the same data via NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BITRATE.

commit cb150b9d23be6ee7f3a0fff29784f1c5b5ac514d upstream.

Since cfg80211 frequently takes actions from its netdev notifier
call, wireless extensions messages could still be ordered badly
since the wext netdev notifier, since wext is built into the
kernel, runs before the cfg80211 netdev notifier. For example,
the following can happen:

5: wlan1: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
    link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: wlan1: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP&gt;
    link/ether

when setting the interface down causes the wext message.

To also fix this, export the wireless_nlevent_flush() function
and also call it from the cfg80211 notifier.

commit 8bf862739a7786ae72409220914df960a0aa80d8 upstream.

Beniamino reported that he was getting an RTM_NEWLINK message for a
given interface, after the RTM_DELLINK for it. It turns out that the
message is a wireless extensions message, which was sent because the
interface had been connected and disconnection while it was deleted
caused a wext message.

For its netlink messages, wext uses RTM_NEWLINK, but the message is
without all the regular rtnetlink attributes, so "ip monitor link"
prints just rudimentary information:

5: wlan1: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default
    link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Deleted 5: wlan1: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
    link/ether 02:00:00:00:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: wlan1: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP&gt;
    link/ether
(from my hwsim reproduction)

This can cause userspace to get confused since it doesn't expect an
RTM_NEWLINK message after RTM_DELLINK.

The reason for this is that wext schedules a worker to send out the
messages, and the scheduling delay can cause the messages to get out
to userspace in different order.

To fix this, have wext register a netdevice notifier and flush out
any pending messages when netdevice state changes. This fixes any
ordering whenever the original message wasn't sent by a notifier
itself.

<title>sunrpc/cache: fix off-by-one in qword_get()</title>

commit b7052cd7bcf3c1478796e93e3dff2b44c9e82943 upstream.

The qword_get() function NUL-terminates its output buffer.  If the input
string is in hex format \xXXXX... and the same length as the output
buffer, there is an off-by-one:

  int qword_get(char **bpp, char *dest, int bufsize)
  {
      ...
      while (len &lt; bufsize) {
          ...
          *dest++ = (h &lt;&lt; 4) | l;
          len++;
      }
      ...
      *dest = '\0';
      return len;
  }

This patch ensures the NUL terminator doesn't fall outside the output
buffer.
