[PATCH 3.16 192/202] brcmfmac: assure SSID length from firmware is limited

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

 



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

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

From: Arend van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1b5e2423164b3670e8bc9174e4762d297990deff upstream.

The SSID length as received from firmware should not exceed
IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN as that would result in heap overflow.
