[PATCH net 2/2] nl80211: use NLA_U8_BUGGY for two attributes

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

We discovered that these are set incorrectly by the
corresponding userspace code, so keep compatible with
their bugs even if they'd always set the value to 0.

Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@xxxxx>
Fixes: 28033ae4e0f5 ("net: netlink: Update attr validation to require exact length for some types")
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
