Currently, these three get_key functions return -1 when the provided len
value is less a specific key length value, which can result in buffer
overflow depending on how the returned value is used. These functions are
used in three places in ieee80211/ieee80211_wx.c:
ieee80211_wx_get_encode() :
The behavior of this function will be unchanged.
ieee80211_wx_get_encode_ext() :
The result of the get_key function is written to ext->key_len,
resulting in a buffer overflow if the result is negative.
ieee80211_wx_set_encode() :
The behavior of this function will change. When len is less than the
key length value, it will set a default key of all 0.

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.
