wifi: ath11k: add MSDU length validation for TKIP MIC error

Browse source

In the WBM error path, while processing TKIP MIC errors, MSDU length
is fetched from the hal_rx_desc's msdu_end. This MSDU length is
directly passed to skb_put() without validation. In stress test
scenarios, the WBM error ring may receive invalid descriptors, which
could lead to an invalid MSDU length.

To fix this, add a check to drop the skb when the calculated MSDU
length is greater than the skb size.

This is adapted from the discussion/patch of the ath12k driver [1].
