X-Git-Tag: v4.9.215~34
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3404ad4f280069bf1e883a83c89f19c2bedc770d;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git

staging: rtl8188eu: Fix potential overuse of kernel memory

commit 4ddf8ab8d15ddbc52eefb44eb64e38466ce1f70f upstream.

In routine wpa_supplicant_ioctl(), the user-controlled p->length is
checked to be at least the size of struct ieee_param size, but the code
does not detect the case where p->length is greater than the size
of the struct, thus a malicious user could be wasting kernel memory.
Fixes commit a2c60d42d97c ("Add files for new driver - part 16").
