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.

+ * The hangcheck-timer driver uses the TSC to catch delays that
+ * jiffies does not notice. A timer is set. When the timer fires, it
+ * checks whether it was delayed and if that delay exceeds a given
+ * margin of error. The hangcheck_tick module parameter takes the timer
+ * duration in seconds. The hangcheck_margin parameter defines the
+ * margin of error, in seconds. The defaults are 60 seconds for the
+ * timer and 180 seconds for the margin of error. IOW, a timer is set
+ * for 60 seconds. When the timer fires, the callback checks the
+ * actual duration that the timer waited. If the duration exceeds the
+ * allotted time and margin (here 60 + 180, or 240 seconds), the machine
+ * is restarted. A healthy machine will have the duration match the
+ * expected timeout very closely.
