Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 36/76] cfg80211: nl80211_update_ft_ies() to
 validate NL80211_ATTR_IE

From: Arunk Khandavalli <akhandav@...eaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit 4f0223bfe9c3e62d8f45a85f1ef1b18a8a263ef9 ]

nl80211_update_ft_ies() tried to validate NL80211_ATTR_IE with
is_valid_ie_attr() before dereferencing it, but that helper function
returns true in case of NULL pointer (i.e., attribute not included).
This can result to dereferencing a NULL pointer. Fix that by explicitly
checking that NL80211_ATTR_IE is included.

Fixes: 355199e02b83 ("cfg80211: Extend support for IEEE 802.11r Fast BSS Transition")
