In rtw_ops_set_key(), when the CAM table is full,
rtw_sec_get_free_cam() returns RTW_MAX_SEC_CAM_NUM (32) because
find_next_zero_bit()/find_first_zero_bit() return the bitmap size
when no free slot exists. The bounds check compares the returned
index with ">" against total_cam_num (32), so the invalid index 32
passes the check.
rtw_sec_write_cam() then indexes cam_table[32], an array declared
with RTW_MAX_SEC_CAM_NUM (32) entries, causing an out-of-bounds
write that corrupts the cam_map allocation bitmap. The write also
sets bit 32 of cam_map, which overruns the bitmap as well.
Fix the off-by-one by rejecting indices >= total_cam_num.
Fixes: e3037485c68e ("rtw88: new Realtek 802.11ac driver")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Tested on: RTL8821CE (PCIe) on kernel
7.2.0-rc6-rtw88test-00059-g0d8395707651. The patched module loaded
and associated to a WPA2 network; ping traffic passed with 0% packet
loss. Reassociation and disconnect/reconnect cycles completed
without errors, and the CAM table (debugfs dump_cam) showed valid
key entries. The CAM-full boundary (28+ pairwise keys) requires an
access point with 28+ clients and is not reachable in a
single-client setup, so that path was verified by code inspection.

These two are formal tags, so I'd move them together with Tested-by tag.

Yes. Unless you start an AP mode, and use many clients connect it, but
I suspect rtw88 can't afford to support such clients.

By the way, if you want spell your Japanese name in English, the display would
be normal since my some git tools do not support UTF-8. But I don't insist this.
