      "title": "wifi: ath9k_htc: bound TX aggregation to MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath9k_htc: bound TX aggregation to MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE\n\n__hif_usb_tx() dequeues up to MAX_TX_AGGR_NUM (20) frames into a\nsingle tx_buf of MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE (32768) bytes, limiting the batch\nby record count but never by cumulative byte length.\n\nWith large frames (MTU 2304), 20 aggregated frames of 2292 bytes\neach exceed the allocation (20 * 2296 = 45920 bytes), so the\nmemcpy() in the loop writes up to 13152 bytes past tx_buf->buf\nbefore usb_submit_urb().\n\nPeek the queue head and stop before copying any record that would\ncross MAX_TX_BUF_SIZE, then dispatch the current batch. Leftover\nskbs remain queued and are drained on the next URB completion.\n\nThe byte bound changes the loop's exit semantics: it can now exit\nbefore i == tx_skb_cnt - 1. Stock only finalized tx_buf->len on\nthat last index (len += offset), so an early break would submit a\nURB holding only the last record's length while every dequeued skb\nis freed on completion, silently dropping frames. Make tx_buf->len\na running total and advance tx_buf->offset per record instead; the\nstride round_up(nskb->len + 4, 4) is identical to the stock stride\nwhen the loop runs to completion.\n\nTested on hardware with an MTU 2304 flood: the loop stops at\nrecord 15 (len = 32144, offset = 32144, within 32768), no\noversized URB is submitted, and MTU 1500 pings pass 20/20.",
