This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit da7061c82e4a1bc6a5e134ef362c86261906c860 upstream.
The function ieee80211_ie_split_vendor doesn't return 0 on errors. Instead
it returns any offset < ielen when WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC is found. The
return value in mesh_add_vendor_ies must therefore be checked against
ifmsh->ie_len and not 0. Otherwise all ifmsh->ie starting with
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC will be rejected.
