From: Srinivas Dasari <dasaris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> nla policy checks for only maximum length of the attribute data when the attribute type is NLA_BINARY. If userspace sends less data than specified, cfg80211 may access illegal memory. When type is NLA_UNSPEC, nla policy check ensures that userspace sends minimum specified length number of bytes. Remove type assignment to NLA_BINARY from nla_policy of NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SERVICE_ID to make these NLA_UNSPEC and to make sure minimum NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SERVICE_ID_LEN bytes are received from userspace with NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SERVICE_ID.
