Subject: [PATCH 5/6] mwifiex: fix invalid memory access in mwifiex_update_autoindex_ies()
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:24:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382480687-12720-6-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>

While parsing TLVs, return failure if number of remaining bytes
are less than current tlv length. This avoids invalid memory
access.
