[PATCH] mwifiex: drop most magic numbers from mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame()

From: Brian Norris
Date: Fri Dec 06 2019 - 14:46:59 EST


Before commit 1e58252e334d ("mwifiex: Fix heap overflow in
mmwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame()"),
mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame() already had too many magic numbers.
But this commit just added a ton more, in the name of checking for
buffer overflows. That seems like a really bad idea.

Let's make these magic numbers a little less magic, by
(a) factoring out 'pos[1]' as 'ie_len'
(b) using 'sizeof' on the appropriate source or destination fields where
possible, instead of bare numbers
(c) dropping redundant checks, per below.

Regarding redundant checks: the beginning of the loop has this:

if (pos + 2 + pos[1] > end)
break;

but then individual 'case's include stuff like this:

if (pos > end - 3)
return;
if (pos[1] != 1)
return;

Note that the second 'return' (validating the length, pos[1]) combined
with the above condition (ensuring 'pos + 2 + length' doesn't exceed
'end'), makes the first 'return' (whose 'if' can be reworded as 'pos >
end - pos[1] - 2') redundant. Rather than unwind the magic numbers
there, just drop those conditions.

AFAICT, the existing commit (1e58252e334d) isn't wrong, per se -- just
very poorly styled -- so this probably doesn't need to go to -stable.
Not sure if it's a candidate for wireless-drivers (where the original
commit currently sites) vs. wireless-drivers-next.
