wifi: nxpwifi: reject zero-length extension elements in beacon IEs

Browse source

nxpwifi_update_bss_desc_with_ie() dispatches on elem->data[0] for
WLAN_EID_EXTENSION without checking that the element has a payload.
A well-formed extension element carries at least the element ID
extension byte, but nothing enforces that in the IE stream, and the
loop accepts a zero-length element because its header alone fits.
elem->data[0] then reads the byte after the element, which is past the
kmemdup()ed IE buffer when that element ends the stream.
