[PATCH 3/6] mwifiex: fix invalid memory access in mwifiex_get_power_level()

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

 



From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@xxxxxxxxxxx>

With "while (length)" check we may end up in accessing invalid
memory in last iteration.
This patch makes sure that tlv length is not less than the length
of structure mwifiex_power_group when min/max power is calculated.
