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.

+Firewire (IEEE 1394) driver Interface Guide
+===========================================
+
+Introduction and Overview
+=========================
+
+The Linux FireWire subsystem adds some interfaces into the Linux system to
+ use/maintain+any resource on IEEE 1394 bus.
+
+The main purpose of these interfaces is to access address space on each node
+on IEEE 1394 bus by ISO/IEC 13213 (IEEE 1212) procedure, and to control
+isochronous resources on the bus by IEEE 1394 procedure.
+
+Two types of interfaces are added, according to consumers of the interface. A
+set of userspace interfaces is available via `firewire character devices`. A set
+of kernel interfaces is available via exported symbols in `firewire-core` module.
