Subject: [bug report] wlcore/wl18xx: Add functionality to accept TX rate per link
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 06:47:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161011064722.GA7477@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Maxim Altshul,
The patch 88f07e70d1be: "wlcore/wl18xx: Add functionality to accept
TX rate per link" from Jul 11, 2016, leads to the following static
checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/ti/wl18xx/tx.c:35 wl18xx_get_last_tx_rate()
error: buffer overflow 'wl->links' 16 <= 255
drivers/net/wireless/ti/wl18xx/tx.c
31 static
32 void wl18xx_get_last_tx_rate(struct wl1271 *wl, struct ieee80211_vif *vif,
33 u8 band, struct ieee80211_tx_rate *rate, u8 hlid)
34 {
35 u8 fw_rate = wl->links[hlid].fw_rate_idx;
^^^^
The complaint here is that we take "hlid" from skb->data without
verifying that it's correct. But this is the tx path and not the rx
path so it might be a false positive if we verify that it's correct
earlier. I don't know the code well enough to say.
36
37 if (fw_rate > CONF_HW_RATE_INDEX_MAX) {
38 wl1271_error("last Tx rate invalid: %d", fw_rate);
39 rate->idx = 0;
40 rate->flags = 0;
41 return;
42 }
43
44 if (fw_rate <= CONF_HW_RATE_INDEX_54MBPS) {
45 rate->idx = fw_rate;
46 if (band = NL80211_BAND_5GHZ)
47 rate->idx -= CONF_HW_RATE_INDEX_6MBPS;
48 rate->flags = 0;
regards,
dan carpenter
