If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Antonio Quartulli commit badecb001a310408d3473b1fc2ed5aefd0bc92a9 upstream. The 'ssid' field of the cfg80211_ibss_params is a u8 pointer and its length is likely to be less than IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN most of the time. This patch fixes the ssid copy in ieee80211_ibss_join() by using the SSID length to prevent it from reading beyond the string.
