It is real. 'ts->ts_final_idx' can be 3 on 5212, so:
info->status.rates[ts->ts_final_idx + 1].idx = -1;
with the array defined as:
struct ieee80211_tx_rate rates[IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES];
while the size is:
#define IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES 4
is indeed bogus.
Set this 'idx = -1' sentinel only if the array index is less than the
array size. As mac80211 will not look at rates beyond the size
(IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES).
Note: The effect of the OOB write is negligible. It just overwrites the
next member of info->status, i.e. ack_signal.
