[PATCH] nl80211: fix beacon head validation

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

If the beacon head attribute (NL80211_ATTR_BEACON_HEAD)
is too short to even contain the frame control field,
we access uninitialized data beyond the buffer. Fix this
by checking the minimal required size first. We used to
do this until S1G support was added, where the fixed
data portion has a different size.
