From ba5c25236bc3d399df82ebe923490ea8d2d35cf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 22:24:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211/cfg80211: fix potential infinite loop The for-loop iterates with a u8 loop counter and compares this with the loop upper limit of request->n_ssids which is an int type. There is a potential infinite loop if n_ssids is larger than the u8 loop counter, so fix this by making the loop counter an int.
