RE: [PATCH] mwifiex: fix memory corruption when unsetting multicast list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the patch.

> When trying to unset a previously-set multicast list (i.e. the new list
> has 0 entries), mwifiex_set_multicast_list() was calling down to
> mwifiex_request_set_multicast_list() while leaving
> mcast_list.num_multicast_addr as an uninitialized value.
> 
> We were arriving at mwifiex_cmd_mac_multicast_adr() which would then
> proceed to do an often huge memcpy of
> mcast_list.num_multicast_addr*ETH_ALEN bytes, causing memory corruption
> and hard to debug crashes.
