commit4ddf8ab8d1upstream. In routine wpa_supplicant_ioctl(), the user-controlled p->length is checked to be at least the size of struct ieee_param size, but the code does not detect the case where p->length is greater than the size of the struct, thus a malicious user could be wasting kernel memory. Fixes commita2c60d42d9("Add files for new driver - part 16").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
