Subject: iwlwifi: dvm: prevent an out of bounds access
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0b0f934e92a8eaed2e6c48a50eae6f84661f74f3 upstream.
iwlagn_check_ratid_empty takes the tid as a parameter, but
it doesn't check that it is not IWL_TID_NON_QOS.
Since IWL_TID_NON_QOS = 8 and iwl_priv::tid_data is an array
with 8 entries, accessing iwl_priv::tid_data[IWL_TID_NON_QOS]
is a bad idea.
This happened in iwlagn_rx_reply_tx. Since
iwlagn_check_ratid_empty is relevant only to check whether
we can open A-MPDU, this flow is irrelevant if tid is
IWL_TID_NON_QOS. Call iwlagn_check_ratid_empty only inside
the
if (tid != IWL_TID_NON_QOS)
a few lines earlier in the function.
