Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] staging: rtl8723bs: fix multiple OOB reads in IE and frame parsing

Apologies for the context-less ping, that was on me.
For reference, this is the v2 series (sent Jul 28) fixing three OOB
read / stack overflow bugs in rtl8723bs where length or offset fields
from untrusted wireless frames are used without validating that enough
bytes remain in the buffer:
1/3 fix OOB read / stack overflow in rtw_get_wps_attr()
2/3 fix OOB read in rtw_action_frame_parse()
3/3 fix OOB read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie()
It's been about four weeks with no review comments. Just checking
whether the series is still on your radar, or if there's anything
you'd like changed before it can be applied.
Thanks,
Muhammad Bilal
