Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging: rtl8723bs: bound SUPP_RATES IE length in rtw_check_beacon_data
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 18:44:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a56d8fa71dc6843e5096ce69d4c216c0ca99a7de.1778550157.git.snejad123@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778550157.git.snejad123@gmail.com>

rtw_check_beacon_data() copies SUPP_RATES and EXT_SUPP_RATES IE
payloads into a 16-byte support_rate[] buffer.

The IE lengths are used directly, so oversized rate IEs can overflow the
stack buffer.

Clamp the supported rates copy and the combined extended supported rates
copy to NDIS_802_11_LENGTH_RATES_EX.

Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
