Doc Text:	A vulnerability was discovered in the Intel wireless iwlwifi driver in the Linux kernel that could lead to a buffer overflow in the Driver Virtualization Module key handling code. When processing a received TKIP key that includes MIC rx/tx components, the driver did not adequately limit the amount of key data copied into the fixed-length iwl_keyinfo.key field, potentially causing a field-spanning write and kernel backtrace (crash).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-30 13:18:20 UTC

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)
