Subject: [patch] staging: r8188eu: memory corruption handling long ssids
Date: Thu, 06 Feb 2014 20:42:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140206204241.GA20028@elgon.mountain> (raw)

We should cap the SSID length at NDIS_802_11_LENGTH_SSID (32) characters
to avoid memory corruption.  If the SSID is too long then I have opted
to ignore it instead of truncating it.

We don't need to clear bssid->Ssid.Ssid[0] because this struct is
allocated with rtw_zmalloc()
