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.

+ * sch_plug.c Queue traffic until an explicit release command
+ *
+ * There are two ways to use this qdisc:
+ * 1. A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating
+ * sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands.
+ *
+ * 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality.
+ * Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint
+ * based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system
+ * is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world.
+ *
+ * Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system,
+ * wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated
+ * asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the
+ * next epoch speculatively.
+ *
+ * The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations:
+ * 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i)
+ * 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms):
+ * 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i).
+ * 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM
+ * 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate
+ * checkpoint(i) to backup host.
+ * 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i)
+ * Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands:
+ * TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i)
+ * .. TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+1)
+ * ....TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE (epoch i)
+ * ......TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+2)
+ * ........
