3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Srinivas Dasari <dasaris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d7f13f7450369281a5d0ea463cc69890a15923ae upstream. validate_scan_freqs() retrieves frequencies from attributes nested in the attribute NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES with nla_get_u32(), which reads 4 bytes from each attribute without validating the size of data received. Attributes nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES don't have an nla policy. Validate size of each attribute before parsing to avoid potential buffer overread.
