commit 4ddf8ab8d15ddbc52eefb44eb64e38466ce1f70f upstream.
In routine wpa_supplicant_ioctl(), the user-controlled p->length is
checked to be at least the size of struct ieee_param size, but the code
does not detect the case where p->length is greater than the size
of the struct, thus a malicious user could be wasting kernel memory.
Fixes commit a2c60d42d97c ("Add files for new driver - part 16").
