[PATCH] mac80211: Fix adding of mesh vendor IEs

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

 



From: Thorsten Horstmann <thorsten@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset < ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh->ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh->ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.

Fixes: 082ebb0c258d ("mac80211: fix mesh beacon format")
