Subject: [PATCH 1/1] staging: rtl8723bs: fix potential out-of-bounds read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 14:26:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224132647.11642-2-luka.gejak@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224132647.11642-1-luka.gejak@linux.dev>
From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
The current code checks 'i + 5 < in_len' at the end of the if statement.
However, it accesses 'in_ie[i + 5]' before that check, which can lead
to an out-of-bounds read. Move the length check to the beginning of the
conditional to ensure the index is within bounds before accessing the
array.
Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
