Subject: CVE-2024-47738: wifi: mac80211: don't use rate mask for offchannel TX either

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email-masked]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: don't use rate mask for offchannel TX either

Like the commit ab9177d83c04 ("wifi: mac80211: don't use rate mask for
scanning"), ignore incorrect settings to avoid no supported rate warning
reported by syzbot.

The syzbot did bisect and found cause is commit 9df66d5b9f45 ("cfg80211:
fix default HE tx bitrate mask in 2G band"), which however corrects
bitmask of HE MCS and recognizes correctly settings of empty legacy rate
plus HE MCS rate instead of returning -EINVAL.

As suggestions [1], follow the change of SCAN TX to consider this case of
offchannel TX as well.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
