From e007b857e88097c96c45620bf3b04a4e309053d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eliad Peller Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2011 18:13:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: fix MAC address validation MAC addresses have a fixed length. The current policy allows passing < ETH_ALEN bytes, which might result in reading beyond the buffer. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: John W.
