[PATCH] p54: validate firmware descriptor RX range

From: Heyang Tan <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-06 12:35:29
Subsystem: p54 wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Christian Lamparter, Linus Torvalds

The BR_CODE_DESCR parser reads fields through rx_keycache_size without
checking that the record contains those fields. The record length is
measured in 32-bit words, so the fields accessed by the parser require at
least five words.

It also subtracts the RX offset from rx_end without checking the result.
Reject descriptors that are too short, underflow the offset, or produce an
empty RX range before updating the driver state.
