   4 Subject: wpa_supplicant: Fix parsing of max_oper_chwidth
   5
   6 The max_oper_chwidth is parsed in wpa_config_set as INT_RANGE (see
   7 ssid_fields). The actual parsing for INT_RANGE is done by
   8 wpa_config_parse_int which can only store the result as full integer.
   9
  10 max_oper_chwidth is stored as u8 (a single byte) in wpa_ssid. This means
  11 that on little endian systems, the least significant byte of the parsed
  12 value are really stored in the max_oper_chwidth. But on big endian system,
  13 the only most significant byte is stored as max_oper_chwidth. This means
  14 that 0 is always stored because the provided range doesn't allow any other
  15 value for systems with multi-byte-wide integers.
  16
  17 This also means that for common systems with 4-byte-wide integers, the
  18 remaining 3 bytes were written after the actual member of the struct. This
  19 should not have influenced the behavior of succeeding members because these
  20 bytes would have been part of the padding between the members on most
  21 systems.
  22
  23 Increasing its size to a full int fixes the write operations outside of the
  24 member and allows to use the max_oper_chwidth setting on big endian
  25 systems.
