From: Adrien Schildknecht Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 10:30:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix invalid read in minstrel_sort_best_tp_rates() At the last iteration of the loop, j may equal zero and thus tp_list[j - 1] causes an invalid read. Changed the logic of the loop so that j - 1 is always >= 0.
