In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi:
iwlwifi: mvm: fix a crash when we run out of stations A DoS tool that
injects loads of authentication frames made our AP crash. The
iwl_mvm_is_dup() function couldn’t find the per-queue dup_data which was
not allocated. The root cause for that is that we ran out of stations in
the firmware and we didn’t really add the station to the firmware, yet we
didn’t return an error to mac80211. Mac80211 was thinking that we have the
station and because of that, sta_info::uploaded was set to 1. This allowed
ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() to return a valid station object, but that
ieee80211_sta didn’t have any iwl_mvm_sta object initialized and that
caused the crash mentioned earlier when we got Rx on that station.
