From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
In commit 8c89f7b3d3f2 ("mac80211: Use flex-array for radiotap header
bitmap") we accidentally pointed the position to the wrong place, so
we overwrite a present bitmap, and thus cause all kinds of trouble.
To see the issue, note that the previous code read:
pos = (void *)(it_present + 1);
The requirement now is that we need to calculate pos via it_optional,
to not trigger the compiler hardening checks, as:
pos = (void *)&rthdr->it_optional[...];
Rewriting the original expression, we get (obviously, since that just
adds "+ x - x" terms):
pos = (void *)(it_present + 1 + rthdr->it_optional - rthdr->it_optional)
and moving the "+ rthdr->it_optional" outside to be used as an array:
pos = (void *)&rthdr->it_optional[it_present + 1 - rthdr->it_optional];
The original is off by one, fix it.
