stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit 394ee480aa3e3397fbccd946ed124f876ff4ca68 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit eccd25136386a04ebf46a64f3a34e8e0fab6d9e1 ]
In ath11k_mac_op_hw_scan(), the return value of kzalloc() is directly used in memcpy(), which may lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of kzalloc().
Fix this bug by adding a check of arg.extraie.ptr.
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_ATH11K=m show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
