[PATCH] wifi: nl80211: fix bounds checker error in nl80211_parse_sched_scan

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

 



From: Aleksei Vetrov <vvvvvv@xxxxxxxxxx>

The channels array in the cfg80211_scan_request has a __counted_by
attribute attached to it, which points to the n_channels variable. This
attribute is used in bounds checking, and if it is not set before the
array is filled, then the bounds sanitizer will issue a warning or a
kernel panic if CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP is set.

This patch sets the size of allocated memory as the initial value for
n_channels. It is updated with the actual number of added elements after
the array is filled.
