2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Johannes Berg commit 48735d8d8bd701b1e0cd3d49c21e5e385ddcb077 upstream If somebody sends an invalid beacon/probe response, that can trash the whole BSS descriptor. The descriptor is, luckily, large enough so that it cannot scribble past the end of it; it's well above 400 bytes long. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
