This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential memory corruption in
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential memory corruption in
rtw_check_beacon_data()
The "ie_len" is a value in the 1-255 range that comes from the user. We
have to cap it to ensure that it's not too large or it could lead to
memory corruption.
