From: Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 20:02:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: do not accept/forward invalid EAPOL frames
EAPOL frames are used for authentication and key management between the AP and each individual STA associated in the BSS. Those frames are not supposed to be sent by one associated STA to another associated STA (either unicast for broadcast/multicast).
Similarly, in 802.11 they're supposed to be sent to the authenticator (AP) address.
Since it is possible for unexpected EAPOL frames to result in misbehavior in supplicant implementations, it is better for the AP to not allow such cases to be forwarded to other clients either directly, or indirectly if the AP interface is part of a bridge.
Accept EAPOL (control port) frames only if they're transmitted to the own address, or, due to interoperability concerns, to the PAE group address.
Disable forwarding of EAPOL (or well, the configured control port protocol) frames back to wireless medium in all cases. Previously, these frames were accepted from fully authenticated and authorized stations and also from unauthenticated stations for one of the cases.
Additionally, to avoid forwarding by the bridge, rewrite the PAE group address case to the local MAC address.
