wifi: cfg80211: fix buffer overflow in elem comparison
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 9f16b5c ]

For vendor elements, the code here assumes that 5 octets
are present without checking. Since the element itself is
already checked to fit, we only need to check the length.
