[PATCH 5.12 036/296] mac80211: prevent mixed key and fragment cache attacks

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 12:00:06 EST


From: Mathy Vanhoef <Mathy.Vanhoef@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 94034c40ab4a3fcf581fbc7f8fdf4e29943c4a24 upstream.

Simultaneously prevent mixed key attacks (CVE-2020-24587) and fragment
cache attacks (CVE-2020-24586). This is accomplished by assigning a
unique color to every key (per interface) and using this to track which
key was used to decrypt a fragment. When reassembling frames, it is
now checked whether all fragments were decrypted using the same key.

To assure that fragment cache attacks are also prevented, the ID that is
assigned to keys is unique even over (re)associations and (re)connects.
This means fragments separated by a (re)association or (re)connect will
not be reassembled. Because mac80211 now also prevents the reassembly of
mixed encrypted and plaintext fragments, all cache attacks are prevented.
