linux.git/drivers/net/wireless, branch v3.10-rc7 Linux kernel source tree b43: stop format string leaking into error msgs 2013-06-12T14:20:59+00:00 Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org 2013-05-10T21:48:21+00:00 e0e29b683d6784ef59bbc914eac85a04b650e63c The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered, and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err() parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware, this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation. CVE-2013-2852 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.

The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can be removed altogether later on.

Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link stability.
