From 946ea1c993016a55eacdf6a5bc4119889cbae41d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luciano Coelho Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 00:43:38 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: fix check for valid SSID size in scan operations commit 208c72f4fe44fe09577e7975ba0e7fa0278f3d03 upstream. In both trigger_scan and sched_scan operations, we were checking for the SSID length before assigning the value correctly. Since the memory was just kzalloc'ed, the check was always failing and SSID with over 32 characters were allowed to go through. This was causing a buffer overflow when copying the actual SSID to the proper place. This bug has been there since 2.6.29-rc4. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho Signed-off-by: John W.
