What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: rtl8723bs: properly validate the data in rtw_get_ie_ex()

Just like in commit 154828bf9559 ("staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds

read in rtw_get_ie() parser"), we don't trust the data in the frame so

we should check the length better before acting on it
