Subject: [PATCH 3.16 099/192] cfg80211: Validate frequencies nested in
 NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Srinivas Dasari <dasaris@....qualcomm.com>

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.

Fixes: 2a519311926 ("cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it)")
