Subject: [patch 05/16] libertas: fix buffer overrun
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 15:26:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081107232607.GF4282@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081107232544.GA4282@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: libertas-fix-buffer-overrun.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1204 bytes --]

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

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

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

commit 48735d8d8bd701b1e0cd3d49c21e5e385ddcb077 upstream

If somebody sends an invalid beacon/probe response, that can trash the
whole BSS descriptor. The descriptor is, luckily, large enough so that
it cannot scribble past the end of it; it's well above 400 bytes long.
