[PATCH] nl80211: validate some input better

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

 



This patch changes nl80211 to:
 * validate that any IE input is a valid IE (stream)
 * move some validation code before locking
 * require that a reason code is given for both deauth/disassoc
