[PATCH 3.16 126/129] mwifiex: Fix possible buffer overflows at parsing bss descriptor

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

 



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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 13ec7f10b87f5fc04c4ccbd491c94c7980236a74 upstream.

mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie() calls memcpy() unconditionally in
a couple places without checking the destination size.  Since the
source is given from user-space, this may trigger a heap buffer
overflow.

Fix it by putting the length check before performing memcpy().

This fix addresses CVE-2019-3846.
