Subject: Staging: rtl8188eu: overflow in update_sta_support_rate()
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9dbd79aeb9842144d9a114a979a12c0949ee11eb upstream.
The ->SupportedRates[] array has NDIS_802_11_LENGTH_RATES_EX (16)
elements. Since "ie_len" comes from then network and can go up to 255
then it means we should add a range check to prevent memory corruption.
Fixes: d6846af679e0 ('staging: r8188eu: Add files for new driver - part 7')
