[PATCH 1/2] rt2x00: fix possible memory corruption in case of invalid rxdesc.size

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

 



Sometimes rxdesc descriptor provided by hardware contains invalid
(random) data. For example rxdesc.size can be bigger than actual
size of the buffer. When this happen rt2x00crypto_rx_insert_iv()
corrupt memory doing memmove outside of buffer boundaries.
