[PATCH v2] staging: rtl8192e: Fix possible buffer overflow in _rtl92e_wx_set_scan

From: Lee Gibson
Date: Fri Feb 26 2021 - 08:28:16 EST


Function _rtl92e_wx_set_scan calls memcpy without checking the length.
A user could control that length and trigger a buffer overflow.
Fix by checking the length is within the maximum allowed size.

Changes in v2:
Changed to use min_t as per useful suggestions
