Vulnerability Title
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential shift-out-of-bounds in brcmf_fw_alloc_request()
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential shift-out-of-bounds in brcmf_fw_alloc_request()
This patch fixes a shift-out-of-bounds in brcmfmac that occurs in
BIT(chiprev) when a 'chiprev' provided by the device is too large.
It should also not be equal to or greater than BITS_PER_TYPE(u32)
as we do bitwise AND with a u32 variable and BIT(chiprev). The patch
adds a check that makes the function return NULL if that is the case.
Note that the NULL case is later handled by the bus-specific caller,
brcmf_usb_probe_cb() or brcmf_usb_reset_resume(), for example.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
