[PATCH 4/3] mac80211: fix action frame length checks

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

 



The action frame length checks are one too small, there's not just
an action code as the comment makes you believe, there's a category
code too, and the category code is required in each action frame
(hence part of IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE).
