Subject: [08/39] Libertas: fix buffer overflow in lbs_get_essid()
Date: Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:02:04 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100105200259.993485759@mini.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100105195007.GA23952@kroah.com>
2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Daniel Mack <daniel@caiaq.de>
commit 45b241689179a6065384260242637cf21dabfb2d upstream.
The libertas driver copies the SSID buffer back to the wireless core and
appends a trailing NULL character for termination. This is
a) unnecessary because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc and is hence
already NULLed when this function is called, and
b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too
much which causes memory corruptions.
Fix this by removing the extra write.
