From 1b9ca0272ffae212e726380f66777b30a56ed7a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com> Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:13:07 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Fix validation of AKM suites Incorrect variable was used in validating the akm_suites array from NL80211_ATTR_AKM_SUITES. In addition, there was no explicit validation of the array length (we only have room for NL80211_MAX_NR_AKM_SUITES). This can result in a buffer write overflow for stack variables with arbitrary data from user space. The nl80211 commands using the affected functionality require GENL_ADMIN_PERM, so this is only exposed to admin users.
