In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rtw88: Fix array overrun in rtw_get_tx_power_params()

Using a kernel with the Undefined Behaviour Sanity Checker (UBSAN) enabled, the
following array overrun is logged:

================================================================================

================================================================================

The statement where an array is being overrun is shown in the following snippet:

	if (rate <= DESC_RATE11M)
		tx_power = pwr_idx_2g->cck_base[group];
	else
====>		tx_power = pwr_idx_2g->bw40_base[group];

The associated arrays are defined in main.h as follows:

struct rtw_2g_txpwr_idx {
	u8 cck_base[6];
	u8 bw40_base[5];
	struct rtw_2g_1s_pwr_idx_diff ht_1s_diff;
	struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_2s_diff;
	struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_3s_diff;
	struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_4s_diff;
};

The problem arises because the value of group is 5 for channel 14. The trivial
increase in the dimension of bw40_base fails as this struct must match the layout of
efuse. The fix is to add the rate as an argument to rtw_get_channel_group() and set
the group for channel 14 to 4 if rate <= DESC_RATE11M.

This patch fixes commit fa6dfe6bff24 ("rtw88: resolve order of tx power setting routines")
