In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: Fix array index mistake in rtw89stainfogetiter()
In rtw89stainfogetiter() 'status->hegi' is compared to array size. But then 'rate->hegi' is used as array index instead of 'status->hegi'. This can lead to go beyond array boundaries in case of 'rate->hegi' is not equal to 'status->he_gi' and is bigger than array size. Looks like "copy-paste" mistake.
Fix this mistake by replacing 'rate->hegi' with 'status->hegi'.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
