From 09914813da37f1ee9d77998a0701629cfbbd98f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 19:31:17 +0200 Subject: mac80211: fix HT information element parsing There's no checking that the HT IEs are of the right length which can be used by an attacker to cause an out-of-bounds access by sending a too short HT information/capability IE. Fix it by simply pretending those IEs didn't exist when too short. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
