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.

+
+Speakup is a kernel based screen review package for the linux operating
+system. It allows blind users to interact with applications on the
+linux console by means of synthetic speech.
+
+Currently, speakup has one issue we know of.
+
+It seems to only happen on SMP systems. It seems that text in the output buffer
+gets garbled because a lock is not set. This bug happens regularly, but no one
+has been able to find a situation which produces it consistently.
+
+Patches, suggestions, corrections, etc, are definitely welcome.
+
+We prefer that you contact us on the mailing list; however, if you do
+not want to subscribe to a mailing list, send your email to all of the
+following:
