mac80211: validate TIM IE length (redux)
The TIM IE must not be shorter than 4 bytes, so verify that when parsing it and use the proper type. To ease that adjust struct ieee80211_tim_ie to have a virtual bitmap of size at least 1. Also check that the TIM IE is actually present before trying to parse it! Because other people may need the function, make it a static inline in ieee80211.h. (The original "mac80211: validate TIM IE length" was a minimal fix for 2.6.30. This purports to be the full, correct fix. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
