2009-05-20cfg80211: fix race between core hint and driver's custom applyLuis R. Rodriguez
Its possible for cfg80211 to have scheduled the work and for the global workqueue to not have kicked in prior to a cfg80211 driver's regulatory hint or wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Although this is very unlikely its possible and should fix this race. When this race would happen you are expected to have hit a null pointer dereference panic.

2009-05-20wext: verify buffer size for SIOCSIWENCODEEXTJohannes Berg
Another design flaw in wireless extensions (is anybody surprised?) in the way it handles the iw_encode_ext structure: The structure is part of the 'extra' memory but contains the key length explicitly, instead of it just being the length of the extra buffer - size of the struct and using the explicit key length only for the get operation (which only writes it). Therefore, we have this layout: extra: +-------------------------+ | struct iw_encode_ext { | | ... | | u16 key_len; | | u8 key[0]; | | }; | +-------------------------+ | key material | +-------------------------+ Now, all drivers I checked use ext->key_len without checking that both key_len and the struct fit into the extra buffer that has been copied from userspace. This leads to a buffer overrun while reading that buffer, depending on the driver it may be possible to specify arbitrary key_len or it may need to be a proper length for the key algorithm specified. Thankfully, this is only exploitable by root, but root can actually cause a segfault or use kernel memory as a key (which you can even get back with siocgiwencode or siocgiwencodeext from the key buffer). Fix this by verifying that key_len fits into the buffer along with struct iw_encode_ext. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-05-04cfg80211: fix race condition with wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()Luis R. Rodriguez
We forgot to lock using the cfg80211_mutex in wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). Without the lock there is possible race between processing a reply from CRDA and a driver calling wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory(). During the processing of the reply from CRDA we free last_request and wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory() eventually accesses an element from last_request in the through freq_reg_info_regd(). This is very difficult to reproduce (I haven't), it takes us 3 hours and you need to be banging hard, but the race is obvious by looking at the code. This should only affect those who use this caller, which currently is ath5k, ath9k, and ar9170.

It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using this though. Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg code to help these users migrate. Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled system will world roam. This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

Since this is a very recently added command and there are no known (or known planned) applications using NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE and taken into account how much extra complexity it adds to the IE processing we have now (and need to add in the future to fix IE order in couple of frames), it looks like the best option is to just remove the implementation of this command for now.

2009-03-27nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SMEJouni Malinen
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request authentication and association (and also deauthentication and disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE 802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the SME. The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request, MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and association commands request the actual operations in two steps (assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect" command). The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state machine from moving automatically from authentication to association. Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211. The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and association process to user space without having to move the full MLME implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant. This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

2009-03-27nl80211: Event notifications for MLME eventsJouni Malinen
Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme") for informing user space about received and processed Authentication, (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11 management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it includes all the needed information. This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the SME. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-03-16cfg80211: remove REGDOM_SET_BY_INITLuis R. Rodriguez
This is not used as we can always just assume the first regulatory domain set will _always_ be a static regulatory domain. REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE will be the first request from cfg80211 for a regdomain and that then populates the first regulatory request. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-02-27nl80211: Avoid AP mode BUG_ON hang with invalid lock assertJouni Malinen
"cfg80211: add assert_cfg80211_lock() to ensure proper protection" added assert_cfg80211_lock() calls into various places. At least one of them, nl80211_send_wiphy(), should not have been there. That triggers the BUG_ON in assert_cfg80211_lock() and pretty much kills the kernel whenever someone runs hostapd.. Remove that call and make assert_cfg80211_lock() use WARN_ON instead of BUG_ON to be a bit more friendly to users.

2009-02-27cfg80211: Add AP beacon regulatory hintsLuis R. Rodriguez
When devices are world roaming they cannot beacon or do active scan on 5 GHz or on channels 12, 13 and 14 on the 2 GHz band. Although we have a good regulatory API some cards may _always_ world roam, this is also true when a system does not have CRDA present. Devices doing world roaming can still passive scan, if they find a beacon from an AP on one of the world roaming frequencies we make the assumption we can do the same and we also remove the passive scan requirement. This adds support for providing beacon regulatory hints based on scans. This works for devices that do either hardware or software scanning. If a channel has not yet been marked as having had a beacon present on it we queue the beacon hint processing into the workqueue. All wireless devices will benefit from beacon regulatory hints from any wireless device on a system including new devices connected to the system at a later time. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2009-02-27cfg80211: enable 5 GHz world roaming channelsLuis R. Rodriguez
The current static world regulatory domain is too restrictive, we can use some 5 GHz channels world wide so long as they do not touch frequencies which require DFS. The compromise is we must also enforce passive scanning and disallow usage of a mode of operation that beacons: (AP | IBSS | Mesh) Signed-off-by: Luis R.
