A response shorter than four bytes can also cause an\nout-of-bounds read of res->status_code at offsets 2 and 3.\n\nReject frames too short to hold the fixed header before touching the\nheader or computing ies_len. Also set the connection status to a failure\non this path: the caller falls through to a\n\"conn_info->status == WLAN_STATUS_SUCCESS\" check after the parser\nreturns, so leaving the status untouched could let a malformed short\nresponse be treated as a successful association."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.c"], "versions": [{"version": "c5c77ba18ea66aa05441c71e38473efb787705a4", "lessThan": "584c8954ad55f8b09b475be6db710fe40ceb988c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "c5c77ba18ea66aa05441c71e38473efb787705a4", "lessThan": "4d410320e8ae5933e651660c9fadc1d380309e23", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "c5c77ba18ea66aa05441c71e38473efb787705a4", "lessThan": "e511e93abd6eeedcd5b3c55516241f414fbde64a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "c5c77ba18ea66aa05441c71e38473efb787705a4", "lessThan": "8ccdf8c8de87a9580df37c3c1ec53ba88cedef65", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "c5c77ba18ea66aa05441c71e38473efb787705a4", "lessThan": "4c4c97b60a5e978121d9ee8cb0ab3916e5d6a8de", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.c"], "versions": [{"version": "4.2", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "4.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.148", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.42", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2-rc5", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.148"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.101"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.42"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.2", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2-rc5"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/584c8954ad55f8b09b475be6db710fe40ceb988c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d410320e8ae5933e651660c9fadc1d380309e23"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e511e93abd6eeedcd5b3c55516241f414fbde64a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8ccdf8c8de87a9580df37c3c1ec53ba88cedef65"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4c4c97b60a5e978121d9ee8cb0ab3916e5d6a8de"}], "title": "wifi: wilc1000: validate assoc response length before subtracting header", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
