Subject: mwifiex: printk() overflow with 32-byte SSIDs
From: Brian Norris <briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit fcd2042e8d36cf644bd2d69c26378d17158b17df upstream.
SSIDs aren't guaranteed to be 0-terminated. Let's cap the max length
when we print them out.
This can be easily noticed by connecting to a network with a 32-octet
SSID:

'0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef <uninitialized mem>' bssid
