Subject: CVE-2023-53213: wifi: brcmfmac: slab-out-of-bounds read in brcmf_get_assoc_ies()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: slab-out-of-bounds read in brcmf_get_assoc_ies()
Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in kmemdup() called from
brcmf_get_assoc_ies().
The bug could occur when assoc_info->req_len, data from a URB provided
by a USB device, is bigger than the size of buffer which is defined as
WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX.
Add the size check for req_len/resp_len of assoc_info.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
