Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: fix frame length underflow in OnAuthClient
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 12:08:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414100804.871764-1-hossu.alexandru@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413202824.740653-1-hossu.alexandru@gmail.com>

If pkt_len is less than WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + offset + 6, the reads of
the seq and status fields go beyond the frame buffer. Additionally,
when pkt_len < WLAN_HDR_A3_LEN + _AUTH_IE_OFFSET_ (30 bytes), the
subtraction passed to rtw_get_ie() wraps around since pkt_len is
unsigned, causing rtw_get_ie() to scan well past the end of the buffer.

Add a minimum length check after computing offset to reject frames
that are too short before any fixed field access.
