Subject: [PATCH rtw-next 2/3] wifi: rtlwifi: validate action frame size in rtl_action_proc()
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:22:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414062229.21047-3-pkshih@realtek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414062229.21047-1-pkshih@realtek.com>
Since action frames might be malformed from RX or injected TX, validate
the size before using.
More, use struct ieee80211_mgmt to access fields of action frames instead
of counting barely.
Tested with ping on RTL8723BE. The add BA request action frames of TX/RX
can be handled properly.
