staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_action_frame_parse()grafted
rtw_action_frame_parse() takes a frame_len parameter but never
actually checks it before indexing into the frame body:
const u8 *frame_body = frame + sizeof(struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr);
...
c = frame_body[0];
...
a = frame_body[1];
frame_body already points 24 bytes (sizeof(struct
ieee80211_hdr_3addr)) into frame, so reading frame_body[0] and
frame_body[1] requires frame_len >= 26. A management action frame
shorter than that (e.g. exactly 24 bytes, the minimum a malicious
peer can send) causes a 1-2 byte out-of-bounds read.
This is reachable from rtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() and
cfg80211_rtw_mgmt_tx() in ioctl_cfg80211.c, both of which pass
attacker/user-influenced frame buffers and lengths straight through.
Add the missing length check before frame_body is dereferenced.

Doesn't sysfs + normally contain a single value per file? + +A. + By having a single file, the kernel can guarantee that the statistics + represent a consistent snapshot of the state of the device. If the + statistics were exported as multiple files containing one statistic + each, it would be impossible to guarantee that a set of readings + represent a single point in time. + +The stat file consists of a single line of text containing 17 decimal +values separated by whitespace. The fields are summarized in the +following table, and described in more detail below. + + +=============== ============= ================================================= +Name units description +=============== ============= ================================================= +read I/Os requests number of read I/Os processed +read merges requests number of read I/Os merged with in-queue I/O +read sectors sectors number of sectors read +read ticks milliseconds total wait time for read requests +write I/Os requests number of write I/Os processed +write merges requests number of write I/Os merged with in-queue I/O +write sectors sectors number of sectors written +write ticks milliseconds total wait time for write requests +in_flight requests number of I/Os currently in flight +io_ticks milliseconds total time this block device has been active +time_in_queue milliseconds total wait time for all requests +discard I/Os requests number of discard I/Os processed +discard merges requests number of discard I/Os merged with in-queue I/O +discard sectors sectors number of sectors discarded +discard ticks milliseconds total wait time for discard requests +flush I/Os requests number of flush I/Os processed +flush ticks milliseconds total wait time for flush requests +=============== ============= ================================================= + +read I/Os, write I/Os, discard I/0s +=================================== + +These values increment when an I/O request completes. + +flush I/Os +========== + +These values increment when an flush I/O request completes. + +Block layer combines flush requests and executes at most one at a time. +This counts flush requests executed by disk. Not tracked for partitions. + +read merges, write merges, discard merges +========================================= + +These values increment when an I/O request is merged with an +already-queued I/O request. + +read sectors, write sectors, discard_sectors +============================================ + +These values count the number of sectors read from, written to, or +discarded from this block device.

If there are multiple I/O requests waiting, +these values will increase at a rate greater than 1000/second; for +example, if 60 read requests wait for an average of 30 ms, the read_ticks +field will increase by 60*30 = 1800. + +in_flight +========= + +This value counts the number of I/O requests that have been issued to +the device driver but have not yet completed.
