Checks are presently in place in validate_nla() to ensure strings greater than 2 are not passed in by the user which could potentially cause issues. However, there is nothing to prevent userspace from only providing a single (1) Byte as the data length parameter via nla_put(). If this were to happen, it would cause an OOB read in regulatory_hint_user(), since it makes assumptions that alpha2[0] and alpha2[1] will always be accessible. Add an additional check, to ensure enough data has been allocated to hold both Bytes. Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "David S.
