staging: rtl8192e: Fix incorrect source in memcpy()
The variable "info_element" is of the following type: struct rtllib_info_element *info_element defined in drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib.h: struct rtllib_info_element { u8 id; u8 len; u8 data[]; } __packed; The "len" field defines the size of the "data[]" array. The code is supposed to check if "info_element->len" is greater than 4 and later equal to 6. If this is satisfied then, the last two bytes (the 4th and 5th element of u8 "data[]" array) are copied into "network->CcxRmState". Right now the code uses "memcpy()" with the source as "&info_element[4]" which would copy in wrong and unintended information. The struct "rtllib_info_element" has a size of 2 bytes for "id" and "len", therefore indexing will be done in interval of 2 bytes. So, "info_element[4]" would point to data which is beyond the memory allocated for this pointer (that is, at x+8, while "info_element" has been allocated only from x to x+7 (2 + 6 => 8 bytes)). This patch rectifies this error by using "&info_element->data[4]" which correctly copies the last two bytes of "data[]". NOTE: The faulty line of code came from the following commit: commit ecdfa44610fa ("Staging: add Realtek 8192 PCI wireless driver") The above commit created the file `rtl8192e/ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c` which had the faulty line of code. This file has been deleted (or possibly renamed) with the contents copied in to a new file `rtl8192e/rtllib_rx.c` along with additional code in the commit 94a799425eee (tagged in Fixes).
