[PATCH v3 2/5] mac80211: add missing length check for confirm frames

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

 



Although mesh_rx_plink_frame() already checks that frames have enough
bytes for the action code plus another two bytes for capability/reason
code, it doesn't take into account that confirm frames also have an
additional two-byte aid.  As a result, a corrupt frame could cause a
subsequent subtraction to wrap around to ill effect.  Add another
check for this case.
