cover wifi: mwifiex: firmware response validation fixes

From: Tristan Madani <[email protected]>

Three input validation fixes for the mwifiex driver:

1/3: The ADDBA response handler uses a 4-bit TID value (0-15) to
index an 8-entry array. Values >= 8 result in out-of-bounds array access.

2/3: The multichannel event handler uses intf_num from a TLV to
iterate a flexible array without checking it fits the TLV data.

3/3: The IBSS connected event handler replaces a buffer-bounded
length with the TLV header length, which may exceed the event buffer.

PATCH 1/3 wifi: mwifiex: validate TID in ADDBA response handler

From: Tristan Madani <[email protected]>

The TID value extracted from the Block Ack parameter set is a 4-bit field (0-15), but aggr_prio_tbl[] has only MAX_NUM_TID (8) entries. A value >= 8 causes an out-of-bounds array access.

Add a bounds check after extracting the TID.

Fixes 5e6e3a92b9a4 ("wireless: mwifiex: initial commit for Marvell mwifiex driver")

PATCH 2/3 wifi: mwifiex: validate intf_num in multichannel event handler

In reply to Tristan Madani

From: Tristan Madani <[email protected]>

The intf_num field from the multichannel group info TLV indexes the flexible array bss_type_numlist[] without checking whether it fits the TLV data. An intf_num larger than the available data causes reads past the TLV boundary.

Add a check that intf_num does not exceed the number of entries that fit in the TLV data.

Fixes 8d6b538a5eac ("mwifiex: handle multichannel event")

PATCH 3/3 wifi: mwifiex: cap TLV length in IBSS connected event handler

In reply to Tristan Madani

From: Tristan Madani <[email protected]>

In the IBSS connected event handler, the buffer-bounded evt_len is replaced with the TLV header length from the firmware. An inflated value drives the IE parsing loop past the event buffer.

Cap the TLV-derived length at the remaining event data size.
