[PATCH v6 12/13] nl80211: sanitize array index in parse_txq_params

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

 



Wireless drivers rely on parse_txq_params to validate that
txq_params->ac is less than NL80211_NUM_ACS by the time the low-level
driver's ->conf_tx() handler is called. Use a new helper,
array_index_nospec(), to sanitize txq_params->ac with respect to
speculation. I.e. ensure that any speculation into ->conf_tx() handlers
is done with a value of txq_params->ac that is within the bounds of [0,
NL80211_NUM_ACS).
