Re: Heap based overflow in Marvell Wifi mwifiex_cfg80211_start_ap function

This is a false positive.  The nla stuff has checking which is pretty
tricky for static analysis to handle.  Here is how that attribute is
defined.

net/wireless/nl80211.c
   544          [NL80211_ATTR_SSID] = { .type = NLA_BINARY,
   545                                  .len = IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN },

When the NL80211_ATTR_SSID attr is parsed it's capped at
0-IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN because of this.
