mac80211: Fix adding of mesh vendor IEs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset < ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh->ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh->ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.

Fixes: 082ebb0 ("mac80211: fix mesh beacon format")
