[PATCH] net: mac80211: fix hard-coding of length check on skb->len in ieee80211_scan_rx()

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

 



Replace hard-coding with compile-time constants for header length
check on skb->len. This skb->len will be checked again further down the
callstack in cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() in net/wireless/scan.c
(which has a proper length check with WARN_ON()). If the kernel is
configure to panic_on_warn(), the insuffient check of skb->len in
ieee80211_scan_rx() causes kernel crash in
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data().
