If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 487d0f6c8e174799376cf336c415d881e03805c6 Author: Alexey Kodanev <aleksei.kodanev@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 27 16:33:06 2022 +0300 wifi: orinoco: check return value of hermes_write_wordrec() [ Upstream commit 1e346cbb096a5351a637ec1992beffbf330547f0 ] There is currently no return check for writing an authentication type (HERMES_AUTH_SHARED_KEY or HERMES_AUTH_OPEN). It looks like it was accidentally skipped. This patch adds a return check similar to the other checks in __orinoco_hw_setup_enc() for hermes_write_wordrec(). Detected using the static analysis tool - Svace.
