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.

+# Check for missing #include <linux/export.h>
+#
+# The rule for including <linux/export.h> is very simple:
+# Include <linux/export.h> only when you use EXPORT_SYMBOL(). That's it.
+#
+# However, some headers include <linux/export.h> even though they are completely
+# unrelated to EXPORT_SYMBOL().
+#
+# One example is include/linux/module.h. Please note <linux/module.h> and
+# <linux/export.h> are orthogonal. <linux/module.h> should be included by files
+# that can be compiled as modules. In other words, <linux/module.h> should be
+# included by EXPORT_SYMBOL consumers. In contrast, <linux/export.h> should be
+# included from EXPORT_SYMBOL providers, which may or may not be modular.
+# Hence, include/linux/module.h should *not* include <linux/export.h>.
+#
+# Another example is include/linux/linkage.h, which is completely unrelated to
+# EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Worse, it is included by most C files, which means, most C
+# files end up including <linux/export.h>, even though only some of them
+# actually export symbols. Hence, include/linux/linkage.h should *not* include
+# <linux/export.h>.
+#
+# Before fixing such headers, we must ensure that C files using EXPORT_SYMBOL()
+# include <linux/export.h> directly, since many C files currently rely on
+# <linux/export.h> being included indirectly (likely, via <linux/linkage> etc.).
+#
+# Therefore, this check.
+#
+# The problem is simple - the warned files use EXPORT_SYMBOL(), but do not
+# include <linux/export.h>. Please add #include <linux/export.h> to them.
+#
+# If the included headers are sorted alphabetically, please insert
+# <linux/export.h> in the appropriate position to maintain the sort order.
+# For this reason, this script only checks missing <linux/export.h>, but
+# does not automatically fix it.
