This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mac80211: fix typo in starting baserate for rts_cts_rate_idx to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.11. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 863fdb61ba9a5cead62261f62f5a189b26984caa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com> Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:34:41 +0200 Subject: mac80211: fix typo in starting baserate for rts_cts_rate_idx commit c7abf25af0f41be4b50d44c5b185d52eea360cb8 upstream. It affects non-(V)HT rates and can lead to selecting an rts_cts rate that is not a basic rate or way superior to the reference rate (ATM rates[0] used for the 1st attempt of the protected frame data). E.g, assuming drivers register growing (bitrate) sorted tables of ieee80211_rate-s, having : - rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10100 will select rts_cts idx b'10011 & ~d'(BIT(2)-1), i.e. 1, likewise - rates[0].idx == d'2 and basic_rates == b'10001 will select rts_cts idx b'10000 The first is not a basic rate and the second is > rates[0]. Also, wrt severity of the addressed misbehavior, ATM we only have one rts_cts_rate_idx rather than one per rate table entry, so this idx might still point to bitrates > rates[1..MAX_RATES].
