Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: fix HT capability attribute validation
Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 09:27:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320308821.3950.4.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Since the NL80211_ATTR_HT_CAPABILITY attribute is
used as a struct, it needs a minimum, not maximum
length. Enforce that properly. Not doing so could
potentially lead to reading after the buffer.
