[PATCH] nl80211: correctly check NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2 size

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

We need this to be at least two bytes, so we can access
alpha2[0] and alpha2[1]. It may be three in case some
userspace used NUL-termination since it was NLA_STRING
(and we also push it out with NUL-termination).
