Subject: Re: Libertas: Association request to the driver failed
Several arrays were read before checking whether the index was within
bounds. ARRAY_SIZE() should be used to determine the size of arrays.
rates->rates has an arraysize of 1, so calling get_common_rates()
with a rates_size of MAX_RATES (14) was causing reads out of bounds.
tmp_size can increment at most to MAX_RATES * ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_bg_rates),
so that should be the number of elements of tmp[].

Good point.

Thanks,
I think there was another problem in lbs_associate(),
the memcpy already affected rates->rates.
Also in get_common_rates() I think we can safely move the
memset/memcpy, originally after label done, upwards.
The patch below, if correct, is to be applied after the revert
