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.

+Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
+============================
+
+Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to
+control power supplied to electrical devices.
+
+The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers of
+PWM signals. A controller that provides one or more PWM signals is
+registered as :c:type:`struct pwm_chip <pwm_chip>`. Providers
+are expected to embed this structure in a driver-specific structure.
+This structure contains fields that describe a particular chip.
+
+A chip exposes one or more PWM signal sources, each of which exposed as
+a :c:type:`struct pwm_device <pwm_device>`. Operations can be
+performed on PWM devices to control the period, duty cycle, polarity and
+active state of the signal.
+
+Note that PWM devices are exclusive resources: they can always only be
+used by one consumer at a time.
