Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8192du: check QoS TID before indexing tids
rtl92du_tx_fill_desc() uses ieee80211_get_tid() to read the QoS TID
from the 802.11 header and then uses it as an index into
sta_entry->tids[]. ieee80211_get_tid() returns the low 4-bit QoS TID
value, so the result can be in the range 0..15.
rtlwifi only allocates MAX_TID_COUNT entries for sta_entry->tids[], and
MAX_TID_COUNT is 9. A QoS TID greater than 8 therefore indexes past the
aggregation state array. Keep the default RTL_AGG_STOP state for
out-of-range TIDs, matching rtl92cu_tx_fill_desc().
This issue was detected by our static analysis tool and confirmed by
manual audit. UBSAN validation for the same bug pattern reports an
array-index-out-of-bounds access with index 10 for type
'rtl_tid_data [9]'.
