Subject: wpa_supplicant: Fix parsing of max_oper_chwidth
|
||
|
|
||
|
The max_oper_chwidth is parsed in wpa_config_set as INT_RANGE (see
|
||
|
ssid_fields). The actual parsing for INT_RANGE is done by
|
||
|
wpa_config_parse_int which can only store the result as full integer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
max_oper_chwidth is stored as u8 (a single byte) in wpa_ssid. This means
|
||
|
that on little endian systems, the least significant byte of the parsed
|
||
|
value are really stored in the max_oper_chwidth. But on big endian system,
|
||
|
the only most significant byte is stored as max_oper_chwidth. This means
|
||
|
that 0 is always stored because the provided range doesn't allow any other
|
||
|
value for systems with multi-byte-wide integers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This also means that for common systems with 4-byte-wide integers, the
|
||
|
remaining 3 bytes were written after the actual member of the struct. This
|
||
|
should not have influenced the behavior of succeeding members because these
|
||
|
bytes would have been part of the padding between the members on most
|
||
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Increasing its size to a full int fixes the write operations outside of the
|
||
|
member and allows to use the max_oper_chwidth setting on big endian
|
||
|
systems.
|
||
|
