Hello! This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20191031 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits: 4e0b0f42c9c7 ("staging: wilc1000: use struct to pack join parameters for FW") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1487400: Memory - illegal accesses (OVERRUN) /drivers/staging/wilc1000/wilc_hif.c: 496 in wilc_parse_join_bss_param() 490 if (supp_rates_ie) { 491 if (supp_rates_ie[1] > (WILC_MAX_RATES_SUPPORTED - rates_len)) 492 param->supp_rates[0] = WILC_MAX_RATES_SUPPORTED; 493 else 494 param->supp_rates[0] += supp_rates_ie[1]; 495 vvv CID 1487400: Memory - illegal accesses (OVERRUN) vvv Overrunning array of 13 bytes at byte offset 13 by dereferencing pointer "¶m->supp_rates[rates_len + 1]".

If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1487400 ("Memory - illegal accesses") Fixes: 4e0b0f42c9c7 ("staging: wilc1000: use struct to pack join parameters for FW") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
