      nl80211: fix check for valid SSID size in scan operations · 208c72f4
      Luciano Coelho authored
      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.

      mwifiex: correct event header length · 21bc7af6
      Yogesh Ashok Powar authored
      While decoding received event packet from firmware, 4 bytes
      of interface header are already removed unconditionally.
      So for handling event only 4 more bytes needs to be pulled.
      This is achieved by changing event header length to 4.
      
      Almost all the events, except BA stream related and AMSDU
      aggregation control events, do not have the payload in their
      event skb. Such events handling depends only on the event ID.
      This event ID is the first four bytes of the event skb, which
      is copied to a separate variable before pulling the skb header.
      Hence event handling worked only for those events that didn't
      have payload in event skb.
      
      This patch fixes the broken event path of the events with
      payload in their event skb without harming existing working
      event path for the events without payload.
