Well, OK, it's not complicated, just obfuscated. mrvl_ie_rates_param_set is a TLV structure, and the size of the overall structure from 'header' will tell how many rates there actually are following the header. The [1] is left over from the vendor driver. If that's confusing things, can we just use [0] here or does the scanner that found this need to be fixed? We'll certainly be pointing past the end of the mrvl_ie_rates_param_set, but we won't be accessing beyond memory we don't control, since the mrvl_ie_rates_param_set will always point into a buffer (from kzalloc) that's large enough. Rates is also never used late enough in the command spacing to be at risk of overrunning the end of the command buffer into which it points. The following (not runtime tested) should make it clearer what's going on, though it doesn't address the [1]/[0] issue: --- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/assoc.c b/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/assoc.c index 1902b6f..8c05388 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/assoc.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/assoc.c @@ -35,7 +35,8 @@ static const u8 bssid_off[ETH_ALEN] __attribute__ ((aligned (2))) = * * @param priv A pointer to struct lbs_private structure * @param rates the buffer which keeps input and output - * @param rates_size the size of rate1 buffer; new size of buffer on return + * @param rates_size the size of rates buffer; new size of buffer on return, + * which will be less than or equal to original rates_size * * @return 0 on success, or -1 on error */ @@ -43,39 +44,42 @@ static int get_common_rates(struct lbs_private *priv, u8 *rates, u16 *rates_size) { - u8 *card_rates = lbs_bg_rates; - int ret = 0, i, j; - u8 tmp[(ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) - 1) * (*rates_size - 1)]; - size_t tmp_size = 0; - - /* For each rate in card_rates that exists in rate1, copy to tmp */ - for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) && card_rates[i]; i++) { - for (j = 0; j < *rates_size && rates[j]; j++) { - if (rates[j] == card_rates[i]) - tmp[tmp_size++] = card_rates[i]; + int i, j; + u8 intersection[MAX_RATES]; + u16 intersection_size; + u16 num_rates = 0; + + intersection_size = min_t(u16, *rates_size, ARRAY_SIZE(intersection)); + + /* Allow each rate from 'rates' that is supported by the hardware */ + for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates) && lbs_bg_rates[i]; i++) { + for (j = 0; j < intersection_size && rates[j]; j++) { + if (rates[j] == lbs_bg_rates[i]) + intersection[num_rates++] = rates[j]; } } lbs_deb_hex(LBS_DEB_JOIN, "AP rates ", rates, *rates_size); - lbs_deb_hex(LBS_DEB_JOIN, "card rates ", card_rates, + lbs_deb_hex(LBS_DEB_JOIN, "card rates ", lbs_bg_rates, ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates)); - lbs_deb_hex(LBS_DEB_JOIN, "common rates", tmp, tmp_size); + lbs_deb_hex(LBS_DEB_JOIN, "common rates", intersection, num_rates); lbs_deb_join("TX data rate 0x%02x\n", priv->cur_rate); if (!priv->enablehwauto) { - for (i = 0; i < tmp_size; i++) { - if (tmp[i] == priv->cur_rate) + for (i = 0; i < num_rates; i++) { + if (intersection[i] == priv->cur_rate) goto done; } lbs_pr_alert("Previously set fixed data rate %#x isn't " "compatible with the network.\n", priv->cur_rate); - ret = -1; + return -1; } + done: memset(rates, 0, *rates_size); - *rates_size = min_t(int, tmp_size, *rates_size); - memcpy(rates, tmp, *rates_size); - return ret; + *rates_size = num_rates; + memcpy(rates, intersection, num_rates); + return 0; } @@ -317,8 +321,8 @@ static int lbs_associate(struct lbs_private *priv, rates = (struct mrvl_ie_rates_param_set *) pos; rates->header.type = cpu_to_le16(TLV_TYPE_RATES); - memcpy(&rates->rates, &bss->rates, MAX_RATES); - tmplen = min_t(u16, ARRAY_SIZE(rates->rates), MAX_RATES); + tmplen = min_t(u16, ARRAY_SIZE(bss->rates), MAX_RATES); + memcpy(&rates->rates, &bss->rates, tmplen); if (get_common_rates(priv, rates->rates, &tmplen)) { ret = -1; goto done; @@ -592,7 +596,7 @@ static int lbs_adhoc_join(struct lbs_private *priv, /* Copy Data rates from the rates recorded in scan response */ memset(cmd.bss.rates, 0, sizeof(cmd.bss.rates)); - ratesize = min_t(u16, ARRAY_SIZE(cmd.bss.rates), MAX_RATES); + ratesize = min_t(u16, ARRAY_SIZE(cmd.bss.rates), ARRAY_SIZE (bss->rates)); memcpy(cmd.bss.rates, bss->rates, ratesize); if (get_common_rates(priv, cmd.bss.rates, &ratesize)) { lbs_deb_join("ADHOC_JOIN: get_common_rates returned error.\n");
