Summary

In the Linux kernel, the wifi rsi driver's rsi_prepare_beacon() copies the mac80211 beacon frame after FRAME_DESC_SZ into a management skb whose usable tailroom after alignment may be smaller than MAX_MGMT_PKT_SIZE. Missing validation of beacon length before copying can lead to buffer overflow.

Risk Assessment

A buffer overflow may occur, potentially leading to memory corruption or kernel crash.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that validates the beacon length against the actual tailroom before copying.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rsi: validate beacon length before fixed buffer copy rsi_prepare_beacon() copies the mac80211 beacon frame after FRAME_DESC_SZ into a management skb whose usable tailroom may be smaller than MAX_MGMT_PKT_SIZE after alignment. Validate the beacon length against the actual tailroom before the copy and skb_put(). Leave ownership of the management skb with the caller on error, matching the existing rsi_send_beacon() cleanup path.
