[PATCH 4.19 8/8] mwifiex: Fix possible buffer overflows in mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-01-07 14:37:04
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: marvell mwifiex wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Brian Norris, Linus Torvalds

From: Zhang Xiaohui <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 5c455c5ab332773464d02ba17015acdca198f03d ]

mwifiex_cmd_802_11_ad_hoc_start() calls memcpy() without checking
the destination size may trigger a buffer overflower,
which a local user could use to cause denial of service
or the execution of arbitrary code.
Fix it by putting the length check before calling memcpy().
