commit 2d9463083c upstream.
syzbot discovered a bug in which an OOB access was being made because
an unsuitable key_idx value was wrongly considered to be acceptable
while deleting a key in nl80211_del_key().
Since we don't know the cipher at the time of deletion, if
cfg80211_validate_key_settings() were to be called directly in
nl80211_del_key(), even valid keys would be wrongly determined invalid,
and deletion wouldn't occur correctly.
For this reason, a new function - cfg80211_valid_key_idx(), has been
created, to determine if the key_idx value provided is valid or not.
cfg80211_valid_key_idx() is directly called in 2 places -
nl80211_del_key(), and cfg80211_validate_key_settings().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
