Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: b43legacy: enforce bounds check on firmware key index in RX path Same fix as b43: the firmware-controlled key index in b43legacy_rx() can exceed dev->max_nr_keys. The existing B43legacy_WARN_ON is non-enforcing in production builds, allowing an out-of-bounds read of dev->key[]. Make the check enforcing by dropping the frame for invalid indices.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.24 < 5.10.258) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.209) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.175) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.140) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.88) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.30) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.7) • linux linux kernel 7.1
