[PATCH v3 0/5] staging: rtl8723bs: fix multiple missing bounds checks
From: Delene Tchio Romuald
Date: Sun Apr 05 2026 - 06:17:39 EST
This series fixes five missing bounds checks in the rtl8723bs driver
that can be triggered by malformed WiFi frames. Each patch addresses
one function and is independent of the others, but they are sent as
a series since they all modify the same driver.
All patches are based on staging-next, pass checkpatch with no errors
or warnings, and compile cleanly. Found by reviewing the 40 memcpy
calls in rtw_recv.c and tracing buffer pointer manipulation through
the inline helpers in rtw_recv.h. Not tested on hardware.
Changes since v2:
- Rebased on staging-next
- Sent as a numbered series instead of individual patches
- Added proper Cc list from get_maintainer.pl
