Subject: nl80211: Sanitize array index in parse_txq_params From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Date: Mon Jan 29 17:03:15 2018 -0800

From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com

commit 259d8c1e984318497c84eef547bbb6b1d9f4eb05

Wireless drivers rely on parse_txq_params to validate that txq_params->ac is less than NL80211_NUM_ACS by the time the low-level driver's ->conf_tx() handler is called. Use a new helper, array_index_nospec(), to sanitize txq_params->ac with respect to speculation. I.e. ensure that any speculation into ->conf_tx() handlers is done with a value of txq_params->ac that is within the bounds of [0, NL80211_NUM_ACS).
