Before commit 1e58252e334d ("mwifiex: Fix heap overflow in mmwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame()"), mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame() already had too many magic numbers. But this commit just added a ton more, in the name of checking for buffer overflows. That seems like a really bad idea. Let's make these magic numbers a little less magic, by (a) factoring out 'pos[1]' as 'ie_len' (b) using 'sizeof' on the appropriate source or destination fields where possible, instead of bare numbers (c) dropping redundant checks, per below. Regarding redundant checks: the beginning of the loop has this: if (pos + 2 + pos[1] > end) break; but then individual 'case's include stuff like this: if (pos > end - 3) return; if (pos[1] != 1) return; Note that the second 'return' (validating the length, pos[1]) combined with the above condition (ensuring 'pos + 2 + length' doesn't exceed 'end'), makes the first 'return' (whose 'if' can be reworded as 'pos > end - pos[1] - 2') redundant. Rather than unwind the magic numbers there, just drop those conditions. Fixes: 1e58252e334d ("mwifiex: Fix heap overflow in mmwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame()") Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- AFAICT, the existing commit (1e58252e334d) isn't wrong, per se -- just very poorly styled -- so this probably doesn't need to go to -stable. Not sure if it's a candidate for wireless-drivers (where the original commit currently sites) vs. wireless-drivers-next. drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c | 75 ++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c index 7caf1d26124a..f8f282ce39bd 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c @@ -894,7 +894,7 @@ void mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(struct mwifiex_private *priv, u8 *peer, *pos, *end;
