[PATCH v2 1/2] wifi: cw1200: Avoid processing an invalid TIM IE

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

 



While converting struct ieee80211_tim_ie::virtual_map to be a flexible
array it was observed that the TIM IE processing in cw1200_rx_cb()
could potentially process a malformed IE in a manner that could result
in a buffer over-read. Add logic to verify that the TIM IE length is
large enough to hold a valid TIM payload before processing it.
