Subject: CVE-2022-50678: wifi: brcmfmac: fix invalid address access when enabling SCAN log level

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: brcmfmac: fix invalid address access when enabling SCAN log level

The variable i is changed when setting random MAC address and causes
invalid address access when printing the value of pi->reqs[i]->reqid.

We replace reqs index with ri to fix the issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
