Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mwifiex: fix invalid memory access in mwifiex_ret_tx_rate_cfg()
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:24:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382480687-12720-5-git-send-email-bzhao@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1382480687-12720-1-git-send-email-bzhao@marvell.com>

From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@marvell.com>

As tlv_buf_len is decremented at the end of the loop, we may have
accessed invalid memory in the last iteration.
Modify the while condition and add a break statement at the
begining of the loop to fix the problem.
