CVE-2022-49942
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Don't finalize CSA in IBSS mode if state is disconnected
When we are not connected to a channel, sending channel "switch" announcement doesn't make any sense.
The BSS list is empty in that case. This causes the for loop in cfg80211_get_bss() to be bypassed, so the function returns NULL (check line 1424 of net/wireless/scan.c), causing the WARN_ON() in ieee80211_ibss_csa_beacon() to get triggered (check line 500 of net/mac80211/ibss.c), which was consequently reported on the syzkaller dashboard.
Thus, check if we have an existing connection before generating the CSA beacon in ieee80211_ibss_finish_csa().
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
