Subject: [RHEL 6.5 PATCH 170/176] brcmsmac: avoid 512 byte stack variable
Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 11:47:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368460038-21195-171-git-send-email-jogreene@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1368460038-21195-1-git-send-email-jogreene@redhat.com>

Bugzilla: 757944
Brew: <https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=5738553>
Upstream Status: 0d61c9177cb9bf48dcec9c3d9205a309085d4318
Tested: By me. Acceptable. See BZ for details

Dynamically allocate the probe response template which
avoids potential stack corruption. Observed with smatch:

drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/main.c:7412 brcms_c_bss_update_probe_resp()
 warn: 'prb_resp' puts 512 bytes on stack
