d22401d895 dbus: Fix memory leak in case dbus provides 'tlvs' in invalid P2P SD response
Using D-Bus it is possible to request an invalid SD response where
"tlvs" is specified and there is an unknown key (e.g. "bar": "foo"). In
this case, "tlv" is allocated and then never used nor freed. Valgrind
complains as follows:

 36 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 20 of 74

8f69e538a9 SecureLTF: Work around misbehaving STAs for PTK derivation without KDK
Some deployed STAs that advertise SecureLTF support in the RSNXE in
(Re)Association Request frames, do not derive KDK during PTK generation.
Since the correct key calculations in the AP includes an additional KDK
generation in such cases, this causes different PTK-KCK being derived
and the AP ultimately discarding EAPOL-Key message 2/4 due to MIC
validation failure.

Try to derive a PTK without KDK as a workaround in such cases and allow
the 4-way handshake to continue if this results in a matching MIC.

22a592d119 hostapd: Fix updating Beacon frames during association handling
In function handle_assoc(), ieee802_11_update_beacons() was used to
update the Beacon frames. However, with commit a5d0bb42a2 ("Reduce

changed to ieee802_11_set_beacons() which basically overturned what
commit e59d2a31cf ("hostapd: Fix premature beacon set during

21fe042815 SAE: Clear peer_rejected_groups when no element is included
When parsing a SAE Commit message, the temporary peer_rejected_groups
parameter was left to its old value in cases where the new SAE Commit
message did not include the Rejected Groups element. This could result
in unexpected behavior if a previously processed SAE Commit message
included a Rejected Groups element that claimed one of the enabled
groups to be rejected.

Explicitly clear the peer_rejected_groups value when parsing an SAE
Commit message without a Rejected Groups element to avoid rejecting the
new message based on some previously received incorrect information.
This avoids some potential denial-of-service issues during the lifetime
of the SAE temporary data.

761041b18a SAE: Free password identifier if SAE commit is rejected due to it
Authentication rejection was found when doing fuzz testing even with a
valid SAE commit message when it was sent after a SAE commit message
that included an incorrect password identifier. The test steps for this
are as below:

1. Peer sends an abnormal commit message with incorrect password
   identifier
2. APUT rejects as expected
3. Peer sends a valid commit message
4. APUT rejects again, which is not expected

In step 2, as the abnormal data fakes an empty password identifier
element, it passes sae_is_password_id_elem() checking. Memory is then
allocated for sae->tmp->pw_id. The authentication process then fails
due to no available password with this invalid password identifier.

In step 4, though the peer sends a valid commit message, APUT rejects
this SAE commit again due to no password identifier element (due to that
sae->tmp->pw_id being set), which is not expected.

Free the sae->tmp->pw_id field and set it to NULL when SAE commit
message processing fails due to an unknown password identifier so that
the bogus value is not used as a requirement for any consecutive SAE
commit from the same STA before the STA entry gets cleared.

wpa_supplicant might use a wrong BSS entry with the SSID different from
the current SSID of the current BSS while processing a roam event from

and the driver roams to the same BSS after it is restarted with a new
SSID.

To avoid this, update scan results from the driver when a BSS entry is
not found with the current SSID and try to fetch the BSS entry again
with the current SSID after this.

Also, with this change wpa_supplicant_get_new_bss() itself will update

the BSS table. So, remove the BSS table update and search logic from the

first link's BSS into the non-first link during its setup. However,
there could be a case where the first link is not initialized fully
because of ACS/HT40 SCAN/DFS. Hence, in such cases, NULL is getting
copied and later it leads to segmentation fault.

Initialize those on behalf of the first link in such case and update it
so that the next time other non-first link can use it.

1b96745f1d Add a new QCA vendor attribute to set interface offload type
Userspace tools can use QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_IF_OFFLOAD_TYPE to
configure the different below acceleration features (hardware, software)
on a per interface basis.

0 - No acceleration Packets are processed through the Linux kernel
networking stack.

1 - Software based acceleration: Packets are processed through the
shortcut forwarding engine (SFE) to bypass the Linux networking stack
for improved throughput performance. This option is applicable for AP,
STA, and Mesh mode and available for all radio designs. From the
performance aspect, this option consumes more CPU compared to the other
two options. Linux traffic control can be further applied with this
option to have more control on the traffic flows.

2 - Hybrid acceleration (software and hardware acceleration combined):
Packets are processed through both hardware and software in this case.
Packet classification is done by the hardware and then the packets are
delivered to software along with classification results as meta data.
Software can choose to do more classification/QoS based on use cases.
This is applicable for AP, STA, and Mesh modes and is available for all
radio designs. From the performance aspect, this option consumes
relatively less CPU compared to the SFE option above. Linux traffic
control rules cannot be applied with this option.

3 - Hardware based acceleration : Packets are processed through special
hardware (Direct Switch) rings which can directly forward the packets
between ethernet hardware and Wi-Fi hardware with very less software
involvement. This is applicable only for AP and STA modes; not
applicable for Mesh mode. From the performance aspect, this option
consumes very much less CPU compared to the other options. Linux traffic
control rules cannot be applied when this option is used. This option is
applicable only for specific radio designs. When this option is not
available, the default option (SFE) would be configured.
