Subject: [PATCH v5 1/8] staging: rtl8723bs: fix buffer over-read in rtw_update_protection
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:15:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428121737.435248-2-me@cipherat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428121737.435248-1-me@cipherat.com>
rtw_update_protection() is called with a pointer offset into the
ies buffer but the full ie_length is passed, causing a potential
buffer over-read.
Fixes: e945c43df60b ("Staging: rtl8723bs: Delete dead code from update_current_network()")
Fixes: d3fcee1b78a5 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix camel case in struct wlan_bssid_ex")
Reported-by: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-staging/DI2H39EAAFBZ.3KI5NWN02AQ2S@linux.dev
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
