CVE-2023-54286
- Published: 2025-12-30T13:16:17.620
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: dvm: Fix memcpy: detected field-spanning write backtrace
A received TKIP key may be up to 32 bytes because it may contain
MIC rx/tx keys too. These are not used by iwl and copying these
over overflows the iwl_keyinfo.key field.
Add a check to not copy more data to iwl_keyinfo.key then will fit.
This fixes backtraces like this one:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field “sta_cmd.key.key” at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/dvm/sta.c:1103 (size 16)
