[PATCH 5.17 197/219] nl80211: correctly check NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2 size
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 18 2022 - 08:37:35 EST
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 6624bb34b4eb19f715db9908cca00122748765d7 upstream.
We need this to be at least two bytes, so we can access
alpha2[0] and alpha2[1]. It may be three in case some
userspace used NUL-termination since it was NLA_STRING
(and we also push it out with NUL-termination).
