[PATCH 3.16 080/204] brcmfmac: Add check for short event packets

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

 



3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kevin Cernekee <cernekee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd2349121bb1b8ff688c3ca6a2a0bea9d8c142ca upstream.

The length of the data in the received skb is currently passed into
brcmf_fweh_process_event() as packet_len, but this value is not checked.
event_packet should be followed by DATALEN bytes of additional event
data.  Ensure that the received packet actually contains at least
DATALEN bytes of additional data, to avoid copying uninitialized memory
into event->data.
