This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: rtl8712: Fix possible buffer overflow in

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Lee Gibson leegib@gmail.com Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2021 13:26:48 +0000 Subject: staging: rtl8712: Fix possible buffer overflow in r8712_sitesurvey_cmd

Function r8712_sitesurvey_cmd calls memcpy without checking the length. A user could control that length and trigger a buffer overflow. Fix by checking the length is within the maximum allowed size.
