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.

+nova NVIDIA GPU drivers
+=======================
+
+The nova driver project consists out of two separate drivers nova-core and
+nova-drm and intends to supersede the nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on
+the GPU System Processor (GSP).
+
+The following documents apply to both nova-core and nova-drm.

+nova-core
+=========
+
+The nova-core driver is the core driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on GSP. nova-core,
+as the 1st level driver, provides an abstraction around the GPUs hard- and
+firmware interfaces providing a common base for 2nd level drivers, such as the
+vGPU manager VFIO driver and the nova-drm driver.
