wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: Fix __counted_by to be LE variant

[PATCH] wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: Fix __counted_by to be LE variant

Posted by Kees Cook 2 months, 2 weeks ago

In brcmf_cyw_mgmt_tx() the "len" counter of the struct
brcmf_mf_params_le::data flexible array is stored as little-endian via
cpu_to_le16() so the __counted_by_le() variant must be used:

	struct brcmf_mf_params_le *mf_params;
	...
	mf_params_len = offsetof(struct brcmf_mf_params_le, data) +
			(len - DOT11_MGMT_HDR_LEN);
	mf_params = kzalloc(mf_params_len, GFP_KERNEL);
	...
        mf_params->len = cpu_to_le16(len - DOT11_MGMT_HDR_LEN);

Fixes: 66f909308a7c ("wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: support external SAE authentication in station mode")
