CVE-2023-54300
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: avoid referencing uninit memory in ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx
For the reasons also described in commit b383e8abed41 ('wifi: ath9k: avoid
uninit memory read in ath9k_htc_rx_msg()'), ath9k_htc_rx_msg() should
validate pkt_len before accessing the SKB.
For example, the obtained SKB may have been badly constructed with
pkt_len = 8. In this case, the SKB can only contain a valid htc_frame_hdr
but after being processed in ath9k_htc_rx_msg() and passed to
ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx() endpoint RX handler, it is expected to have a WMI
command header which should be located inside its data payload.
Implement sanity checking inside ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx(). Otherwise, uninit
memory can be referenced.
Tested on Qualcomm Atheros Communications AR9271 802.11n .
