Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1527797: Insecure data handling (TAINTED_SCALAR) drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c:415 in mt7996_mcu_ie_countdown() 409 struct mt76_phy *mphy = &dev->mt76.phy; 410 struct mt7996_mcu_rxd *rxd = (struct mt7996_mcu_rxd *)skb->data; 411 const char *data = (char *)&rxd[1], *tail; 412 struct header *hdr = (struct header *)data; 413 struct tlv *tlv = (struct tlv *)(data + 4); 414 vvv CID 1527797: Insecure data handling (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Using tainted variable "hdr->band" as an index into an array "(*dev).mt76.phys". 415 if (hdr->band && dev->mt76.phys[hdr->band]) 416 mphy = dev->mt76.phys[hdr->band]; 417 418 tail = skb->data + le16_to_cpu(rxd->len); 419 while (data + sizeof(struct tlv) < tail && le16_to_cpu(tlv->len)) { 420 switch (le16_to_cpu(tlv->tag)) {
If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
