Subject: [PATCH 4.18 089/228] rndis_wlan: potential buffer overflow in rndis_wlan_auth_indication()

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit ae636fb1554833ee5133ca47bf4b2791b6739c52 ]

This is a static checker fix, not something I have tested.  The issue
is that on the second iteration through the loop, we jump forward by
le32_to_cpu(auth_req->length) bytes.  The problem is that if the length
is more than "buflen" then we end up with a negative "buflen".  A
negative buflen is type promoted to a high positive value and the loop
continues but it's accessing beyond the end of the buffer.

I believe the "auth_req->length" comes from the firmware and if the
firmware is malicious or buggy, you're already toasted so the impact of
this bug is probably not very severe.
