[PATCH 3.16 22/61] mwifiex: Fix possible buffer overflows in mwifiex_ret_wmm_get_status()

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

 



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

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

From: Qing Xu <m1s5p6688@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 3a9b153c5591548612c3955c9600a98150c81875 upstream.

mwifiex_ret_wmm_get_status() calls memcpy() without checking the
destination size.Since the source is given from remote AP which
contains illegal wmm elements , this may trigger a heap buffer
overflow.
Fix it by putting the length check before calling memcpy().
