[PATCH] net: wireless: validate key indexes for cfg80211_registered_device

From: Anant Thazhemadam
Date: Fri Dec 04 2020 - 17:00:00 EST


syzbot discovered a bug in which an OOB access was being made because
an unsuitable key_idx value was wrongly considered to be acceptable
while deleting a key in nl80211_del_key().

Since we don't know the cipher at the time of deletion, if
cfg80211_validate_key_settings() were to be called directly in
nl80211_del_key(), even valid keys would be wrongly determined invalid,
and deletion wouldn't occur correctly.
For this reason, a new function - cfg80211_valid_key_idx(), has been
created, to determine if the key_idx value provided is valid or not.
cfg80211_valid_key_idx() is directly called in 2 places -
nl80211_del_key(), and cfg80211_validate_key_settings().

For the bug that was getting triggered, pairwise was true, and
the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_BEACON_PROTECTION feature was set too.
The control logic for cfg80211_validate_key_settings() has been
designed keeping this also in mind.
