From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:34:28 +0000 (+0200) Subject: nl80211: fix another nl80211_fam.attrbuf race X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c319d50bfcf678c2857038276d9fab3c6646f3bf;p=linux-beck.git nl80211: fix another nl80211_fam.attrbuf race This is similar to the race Linus had reported, but in this case it's an older bug: nl80211_prepare_wdev_dump() uses the wiphy index in cb->args[0] as it is and thus parses the message over and over again instead of just once because 0 is the first valid wiphy index. Similar code in nl80211_testmode_dump() correctly offsets the wiphy_index by 1, do that here as well.
