3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <ti...@suse.de>
commit 13ec7f10b87f5fc04c4ccbd491c94c7980236a74 upstream.
mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie() calls memcpy() unconditionally in
a couple places without checking the destination size. Since the
source is given from user-space, this may trigger a heap buffer
overflow.
Fix it by putting the length check before performing memcpy().
This fix addresses CVE-2019-3846.
