Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

commit 8f033d2b upstream. Per spec, the maximum value for the MaxBSSID ('n') indicator is 8, and the minimum is 1 since a multiple BSSID set with just one BSSID doesn't make sense (the # of BSSIDs is limited by 2^n). Limit this in the parsing in both cfg80211 and mac80211, rejecting any elements with an invalid value. This fixes potentially bad shifts in the processing of these inside the cfg80211_gen_new_bssid() function later. I found this during the investigation of CVE-2022-41674 fixed by the previous patch. Fixes: 0b8fb823 ("cfg80211: Parsing of Multiple BSSID information in scanning") Fixes: 78ac51f8 ("mac80211: support multi-bssid") Reviewed-by:Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by:
