In a TLV encoding scheme, the Length part represents the length after the header containing the values for type and length. In this case, `tlv_len` should be: tlv_len == (sizeof(*tlv_rxba) - 1) - sizeof(tlv_rxba->header) + tlv_bitmap_len Notice that the `- 1` accounts for the one-element array `bitmap`, which 1-byte size is already included in `sizeof(*tlv_rxba)`. So, if the above is correct, there is a double-counting of some members in `struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync`, when `tlv_buf_left` and `tmp` are calculated: 968 tlv_buf_left -= (sizeof(*tlv_rxba) + tlv_len); 969 tmp = (u8 *)tlv_rxba + tlv_len + sizeof(*tlv_rxba); in specific, members: drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/fw.h:777 777 u8 mac[ETH_ALEN]; 778 u8 tid; 779 u8 reserved; 780 __le16 seq_num; 781 __le16 bitmap_len; This is clearly wrong, and affects the subsequent decoding of data from `event_buf` through `tlv_rxba`: 970 tlv_rxba = (struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync *)tmp; Fix this by using `sizeof(tlv_rxba->header)` instead of `sizeof(*tlv_rxba)` in the calculation of `tlv_buf_left` and `tmp`.
