Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: rtl8723bs: fix ie_length bound check in rtw_cfg80211_inform_bss
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 14:04:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002140450.3209-1-itsadi2409@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920142849.294162-1-itsadi2409@gmail.com>

The buffer bound check in rtw_cfg80211_inform_bss() checked bssinf_len
(ie_length + header size) against MAX_BSSINFO_LEN (1000 bytes), but
network.ies[] is only MAX_IE_SZ (768) bytes. This allowed ie_length
values up to ~976 bytes to pass the check while a subsequent memcpy()
from network.ies still only has 768 valid bytes, and other paths that
write to network.ies consistently cap ie_length to MAX_IE_SZ.

Check ie_length against MAX_IE_SZ directly, which is the actual size
of network.ies, and drop the now-unused bssinf_len/MAX_BSSINFO_LEN
comparison.
