I found the following bug in my fuzzer:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c:26:51
index 255 is out of range for type 'htc_endpoint [22]'

Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014
Workqueue: events request_firmware_work_func
Call Trace:

Since this bug has been confirmed to be caused by insufficient verification
of conn_rsp_epid, I think it would be appropriate to add a range check for
conn_rsp_epid to htc_connect_service() to prevent the bug from occurring.
Fixes: fb9987d0f748 ("ath9k_htc: Support for AR9271 chipset.")

Patch applied to ath-next branch of ath.git, thanks.

I think this patch should be applied to the next rc version immediately
to fix the oob vulnerability as soon as possible, and also to the
stable version.

ath-next is fine, the issue has been in ath9k forever so waiting four
weeks or so to get to Linus' tree is not making any difference.
