[PATCH 4.4 28/41] mac80211: Reject malformed SSID elements

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Oct 27 2019 - 17:04:13 EST


From: Will Deacon <will@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4152561f5da3fca92af7179dd538ea89e248f9d0 upstream.

Although this shouldn't occur in practice, it's a good idea to bounds
check the length field of the SSID element prior to using it for things
like allocations or memcpy operations.
