[PATCH 5.15] wifi: wcn36xx: fix heap overflow from oversized firmware HAL response

[Roman Demidov]

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 88a240d86d3d64521f9194abe185ac71cc74d0bd upstream.

The firmware response dispatcher copies all synchronous HAL responses
into the 4096-byte hal_buf without validating the response length. A
response exceeding WCN36XX_HAL_BUF_SIZE causes a heap buffer overflow
with firmware-controlled content.

Add a bounds check on the response length.

Fixes: 8e84c2582169 ("wcn36xx: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm WCN3660/WCN3680 hardware")
