3.16.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Qing Xu <m1s5p6688@xxxxxxxxx> commit b70261a288ea4d2f4ac7cd04be08a9f0f2de4f4d upstream. mwifiex_cmd_append_vsie_tlv() calls memcpy() without checking the destination size may trigger a buffer overflower, which a local user could use to cause denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. Fix it by putting the length check before calling memcpy().
