[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 20/25] ax88172a: fix information leak on short answers

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-11-22 19:53:33
Also in: linux-usb, lkml, stable
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb networking drivers · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>

[ Upstream commit a9a51bd727d141a67b589f375fe69d0e54c4fe22 ]

If a malicious device gives a short MAC it can elicit up to
5 bytes of leaked memory out of the driver. We need to check for
ETH_ALEN instead.
