[PATCH] mwifiex: avoid out of bounds access in mwifiex_get_common_rates.

From: Cyril Roelandt <hidden>
Date: 2013-01-27 22:53:49
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers (wireless), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

Check that the array indexes are in-bounds before accessing the rate2 and tmp
arrays.

Found with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@@
identifier t;
identifier idx;
expression E;
statement S;
@@
* for (... ; <+... t[idx] ...+> && idx < E ; ...)
S
</smpl>
