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.

+Checking for needed translation updates
+=======================================
+
+This script helps track the translation status of the documentation in
+different locales, i.e., whether the documentation is up-to-date with
+the English counterpart.
+
+How it works
+------------
+
+It uses ``git log`` command to track the latest English commit from the
+translation commit (order by author date) and the latest English commits
+from HEAD. If any differences occur, the file is considered as out-of-date,
+then commits that need to be updated will be collected and reported.
+
+Features implemented
+
+- check all files in a certain locale
+- check a single file or a set of files
+- provide options to change output format
+- track the translation status of files that have no translation
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+::
+
+ tools/docs/checktransupdate.py --help
+
+Please refer to the output of argument parser for usage details.
+
+Samples
+
+- ``tools/docs/checktransupdate.py -l zh_CN``
+ This will print all the files that need to be updated in the zh_CN locale.
+- ``tools/docs/checktransupdate.py Documentation/translations/zh_CN/dev-tools/testing-overview.rst``
+ This will only print the status of the specified file.
+
+Then the output is something like:
+
+::
+
+ Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst
+ No translation in the locale of zh_CN
+
+ Documentation/translations/zh_CN/dev-tools/testing-overview.rst
+ commit 42fb9cfd5b18 ("Documentation: dev-tools: Add link to RV docs")
+ 1 commits needs resolving in total
+
+Features to be implemented
+
+- files can be a folder instead of only a file
