Hi Larry,
Sorry to bother you about this, because I know we see this same bug
every time we add another Realtek driver and you must be as sick of it
as I am... :/
The patch a619d1abe20c: "rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Add new driver" from Feb
28, 2014, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/phy.c:667 _rtl8723be_store_tx_power_by_rate()
error: buffer overflow 'rtlphy->tx_power_by_rate_offset[band]' 4 <= 5
drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723be/phy.c
646 static void _rtl8723be_store_tx_power_by_rate(struct ieee80211_hw *hw,
647 u32 band, u32 rfpath,
648 u32 txnum, u32 regaddr,
649 u32 bitmask, u32 data)
650 {
651 struct rtl_priv *rtlpriv = rtl_priv(hw);
652 struct rtl_phy *rtlphy = &(rtlpriv->phy);
653 u8 rate_section = _rtl8723be_get_rate_section_index(regaddr);
654
655 if (band != BAND_ON_2_4G && band != BAND_ON_5G)
656 RT_TRACE(rtlpriv, COMP_POWER, PHY_TXPWR,
657 "Invalid Band %d\n", band);
658
659 if (rfpath > MAX_RF_PATH)
^^^^^^^^^^^
This should be >= TX_PWR_BY_RATE_NUM_RF. We should return on error
instead of printing an error and then corrupting memory.
I don't know what to do here to make these bugs go away...
660 RT_TRACE(rtlpriv, COMP_POWER, PHY_TXPWR,
661 "Invalid RfPath %d\n", rfpath);
662
663 if (txnum > MAX_RF_PATH)
664 RT_TRACE(rtlpriv, COMP_POWER, PHY_TXPWR,
665 "Invalid TxNum %d\n", txnum);
666
667 rtlphy->tx_power_by_rate_offset[band][rfpath][txnum][rate_section] =
668 data;
669 }
Thanks for pointing to these problems.
BTW, what static checker found the problem? I ran the latest Smatch and it did
not find it.
