Subject: [patch 02/23] mac80211: Improve sanity checks on injected packets
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:20:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071115062008.GC8282@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071115061806.GA8282@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: mac80211-improve-sanity-checks-on-injected-packets.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3190 bytes --]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Andy Green <andy@warmcat.com>

patch 9b8a74e3482f9fc077a88c13fa0ceca8feb0b772 in mainline.

Michael Wu noticed that the skb length checking is not taken care of enough when
a packet is presented on the Monitor interface for injection.

This patch improves the sanity checking and removes fake offsets placed
into the skb network and transport header.
