Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix invalid read in minstrel_sort_best_tp_rates()
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:30:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438072216-19228-1-git-send-email-adrien+dev@schischi.me> (raw)
At the last iteration of the loop, j may equal zero and thus
tp_list[j - 1] causes an invalid read.
Changed the logic of the loop so that j - 1 is always >= 0.
