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.

+===============================================
+TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) driver API
+===============================================
+
+Kernel provides a TEE bus infrastructure where a Trusted Application is
+represented as a device identified via Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and
+client drivers register a table of supported device UUIDs.
+
+TEE bus infrastructure registers following APIs:
+
+match():
+ iterates over the client driver UUID table to find a corresponding
+ match for device UUID. If a match is found, then this particular device is
+ probed via corresponding probe API registered by the client driver. This
+ process happens whenever a device or a client driver is registered with TEE
+ bus.
+
+uevent():
+ notifies user-space (udev) whenever a new device is registered on
+ TEE bus for auto-loading of modularized client drivers.
+
+TEE bus device enumeration is specific to underlying TEE implementation, so it
+is left open for TEE drivers to provide corresponding implementation.
+
+Then TEE client driver can talk to a matched Trusted Application using APIs
+listed in include/linux/tee_drv.h.
+
+TEE client driver example
+-------------------------
+
+Suppose a TEE client driver needs to communicate with a Trusted Application
+having UUID: ``ac6a4085-0e82-4c33-bf98-8eb8e118b6c2``, so driver registration
+snippet would look like::
+
+ static const struct tee_client_device_id client_id_table[] = {
+ {UUID_INIT(0xac6a4085, 0x0e82, 0x4c33,
+ 0xbf, 0x98, 0x8e, 0xb8, 0xe1, 0x18, 0xb6, 0xc2)},
+ {}
+ };
+
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, client_id_table);
+
+ static struct tee_client_driver client_driver = {
+ .probe = client_probe,
+ .remove = client_remove,
+ .id_table = client_id_table,
+ .driver = {
+ .name = DRIVER_NAME,
+ },
+ };
+
+ module_tee_client_driver(client_driver);
