Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: b43legacy: enforce bounds check on firmware key index in RX path<br />
<br />
Same fix as b43: the firmware-controlled key index in b43legacy_rx()<br />
can exceed dev->max_nr_keys. The existing B43legacy_WARN_ON is<br />
non-enforcing in production builds, allowing an out-of-bounds read of<br />
dev->key[].<br />
<br />
Make the check enforcing by dropping the frame for invalid indices.
