Subject[PATCH 5.5 045/150] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix potential security hole
Date
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

commit 499c405b2b80bb3a04425ba3541d20305e014d3e upstream.

In routine rtw_hostapd_ioctl(), the user-controlled p->length is assumed
to be at least the size of struct ieee_param size, but this assumption is
never checked. This could result in out-of-bounds read/write on kernel
heap in case a p->length less than the size of struct ieee_param is
specified by the user. If p->length is allowed to be greater than the size
of the struct, then a malicious user could be wasting kernel memory.
Fixes commit a2c60d42d97c ("Add files for new driver - part 16").
