What to Know

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: consume only present negotiated TTLM maps

ieee80211_tid_to_link_map_size_ok() validates negotiated TTLM elements

against the number of link-map entries indicated by link_map_presence.

ieee80211_parse_neg_ttlm() must consume the same layout.

The parser advanced its cursor for every TID, including TIDs whose

presence bit is clear and therefore have no map bytes in the element.

A sparse map can then make a later present TID read past the validated

element.

The bad bytes land in neg_ttlm->{up,down}link[tid] but are gated by

valid_links before being applied to driver state, so a peer cannot

turn the read into a policy change. Under KUnit + KASAN with an

exact-sized element allocation the OOB read is reported as a

slab-out-of-bounds; whether the same trigger fires under the

production RX path depends on surrounding allocator state.

Advance the cursor only when the current TID has a map present. (NVD)
