commit 283fc9e44f upstream.
If connection preparation fails for MLO connections, then the
interface is completely reset to non-MLD. In this case, we must
not keep the station since it's related to the link of the vif
being removed. Delete an existing station. Any "new_sta" is
already being removed, so that doesn't need changes.
This fixes a use-after-free/double-free in debugfs if that's
enabled, because a vif going from MLD (and to MLD, but that's
not relevant here) recreates its entire debugfs.

ieee80211_invoke_fast_rx() is documented as safe for parallel RX, but
its per-invocation rx_result is declared static. Concurrent callers then
share one instance and can overwrite each other's result between
ieee80211_rx_mesh_data() and the switch on res.
That can make a packet that was queued or consumed by
ieee80211_rx_mesh_data() fall through into ieee80211_rx_8023(), or make
a packet that should continue return as queued.
Make res an automatic variable so each invocation keeps its own result.

mesh_matches_local() unconditionally dereferences ie->mesh_config to
compare mesh configuration parameters. When called from
mesh_rx_csa_frame(), the parsed action-frame elements may not contain a
Mesh Configuration IE, leaving ie->mesh_config NULL and triggering a
kernel NULL pointer dereference.
The other two callers are already safe:
- ieee80211_mesh_rx_bcn_presp() checks !elems->mesh_config before
calling mesh_matches_local()
- mesh_plink_get_event() is only reached through
mesh_process_plink_frame(), which checks !elems->mesh_config, too
mesh_rx_csa_frame() is the only caller that passes raw parsed elements
to mesh_matches_local() without guarding mesh_config. An adjacent
attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted CSA action frame that
includes a valid Mesh ID IE but omits the Mesh Configuration IE,
crashing the kernel.

commit 017c179252 upstream.
In mesh_rx_csa_frame(), elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie is dereferenced
at lines 1638 and 1642 without a prior NULL check:
ifmsh->chsw_ttl = elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie->mesh_ttl;
...
pre_value = le16_to_cpu(elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie->mesh_pre_value);
The mesh_matches_local() check above only validates the Mesh ID,
Mesh Configuration, and Supported Rates IEs. It does not verify the
presence of the Mesh Channel Switch Parameters IE (element ID 118).
When a received CSA action frame omits that IE, ieee802_11_parse_elems()
leaves elems->mesh_chansw_params_ie as NULL, and the unconditional
dereference causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference.
A remote mesh peer with an established peer link (PLINK_ESTAB) can
trigger this by sending a crafted SPECTRUM_MGMT/CHL_SWITCH action frame
that includes a matching Mesh ID and Mesh Configuration IE but omits the
Mesh Channel Switch Parameters IE. No authentication beyond the default

for each one it will
a) increment crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt

Beacon frames are required to be sent to the broadcast address, see IEEE
Std 802.11-2020, 11.1.3.1 ("The Address 1 field of the Beacon .. frame
shall be set to the broadcast address"). A unicast Beacon frame might be
used as a targeted attack to get one of the associated STAs to do
something (e.g., using CSA to move it to another channel). As such, it
is better have strict filtering for this on the received side and
discard all Beacon frames that are sent to an unexpected address.
This is even more important for cases where beacon protection is used.
The current implementation in mac80211 is correctly discarding unicast
Beacon frames if the Protected Frame bit in the Frame Control field is
set to 0. However, if that bit is set to 1, the logic used for checking
for configured BIGTK(s) does not actually work. If the driver does not
have logic for dropping unicast Beacon frames with Protected Frame bit
1, these frames would be accepted in mac80211 processing as valid Beacon
frames even though they are not protected. This would allow beacon
protection to be bypassed. While the logic for checking beacon
protection could be extended to cover this corner case, a more generic
check for discard all Beacon frames based on A1=unicast address covers
this without needing additional changes.
Address all these issues by dropping received Beacon frames if they are
sent to a non-broadcast address.

But when the last non-trasmitted profile is removed, it still
gets included in Beacon templates sent to driver. This happens
because when no MBSSID elements are sent by the userspace,

Fix this by verifying if the interface operates on 6 GHz channel

If we get to the error path of ieee80211_prep_connection, for example
because of a FW issue, then ieee80211_vif_set_links is called
with 0.
But the call to drv_change_vif_links from ieee80211_vif_update_links
will probably fail as well, for the same reason.
In this case, the valid_links and active_links bitmaps will be reverted
to the value of the failing connection.
Then, in the next connection, due to the logic of
ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps, valid_links will be set to the ID of
the new connection assoc link, but the active_links will remain with the
ID of the old connection's assoc link.
If those IDs are different, we get into a weird state of valid_links and
active_links being different. One of the consequences of this state is
to call drv_change_vif_links with new_links as 0, since the & operation
between the bitmaps will be 0.
Since a removal of a link should always succeed, ignore the return value
of drv_change_vif_links if it was called to only remove links, which is
the case for the ieee80211_prep_connection's error path.
That way, the bitmaps will not be reverted to have the value from the
failing connection and will have 0, so the next connection will have a
good state.

When SAE commit is sent and received in response, there's no
ordering for the SAE confirm messages. As such, don't call
drivers to stop listening on the channel when the confirm
message is still expected.
This fixes an issue if the local confirm is transmitted later
than the AP's confirm, for iwlwifi (and possibly mt76) the
AP's confirm would then get lost since the device isn't on
the channel at the time the AP transmit the confirm.
For iwlwifi at least, this also improves the overall timing
of the authentication handshake (by about 15ms according to
the report), likely since the session protection won't be
aborted and rescheduled.
Note that even before this, mgd_complete_tx() wasn't always
called for each call to mgd_prepare_tx() (e.g. in the case
of WEP key shared authentication), and the current drivers
that have the complete callback don't seem to mind. Document

For drivers using ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() this prevents an
loop trying to push the queued frames while IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP is set:
After setting IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP the driver will call
ieee80211_return_txq(). Which calls __ieee80211_schedule_txq(), detects
that there sill are frames in the queue and immediately restarts the
stopped TXQ. Which can't dequeue any frame and thus starts over the loop.

[ Upstream commit c5fd399a24 ]
mac80211 identifies a short beacon by the presence of the next
TBTT field, however the standard actually doesn't explicitly state that
the next TBTT can't be in a long beacon or even that it is required in
a short beacon - and as a result this validation does not work for all
vendor implementations.
The standard explicitly states that an S1G long beacon shall contain
the S1G beacon compatibility element as the first element in a beacon
transmitted at a TBTT that is not a TSBTT (Target Short Beacon
Transmission Time) as per IEEE80211-2024 11.1.3.10.1. This is validated
by 9.3.4.3 Table 9-76 which states that the S1G beacon compatibility
element is only allowed in the full set and is not allowed in the
minimum set of elements permitted for use within short beacons.
Correctly identify short beacons by the lack of an S1G beacon
compatibility element as the first element in an S1G beacon frame.
