From 3aa42bae9c4d1641aeb36f1a8585cd1d506cf471 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Pali=20Roh=C3=A1r?= Date: Fri, 15 May 2020 09:59:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: Fix memory corruption in dump_station MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_station() uses static variable for iterating over a linked list of all associated stations (when the driver is in UAP role). This has a race condition if .dump_station is called in parallel for multiple interfaces. This corruption can be triggered by registering multiple SSIDs and calling, in parallel for multiple interfaces iw dev station dump [16750.719775] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead000000000110 ...

It would be better to convert the code not to use linked list for associated stations storage (since the chip has a limited number of associated stations anyway - it could just be an array). Such a change may be proposed in the future. In the meantime this patch can backported into stable kernels in this simple form.
