[PATCH 3.2 015/110] staging: rtl8712: prevent buffer overrun in recvbuf2recvframe

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Aug 10 2015 - 06:43:52 EST


3.2.71-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Haggai Eran <haggai.eran@xxxxxxxxx>

commit cab462140f8a183e3cca0b51c8b59ef715cb6148 upstream.

With an RTL8191SU USB adaptor, sometimes the hints for a fragmented
packet are set, but the packet length is too large. Allocate enough
space to prevent memory corruption and a resulting kernel panic [1].
