Replace hard-coding with compile-time constants for header length
check on skb->len. This skb->len will be checked again further down the
callstack in cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() in net/wireless/scan.c
(which has a proper length check with WARN_ON()). If the kernel is
configure to panic_on_warn(), the insuffient check of skb->len in
ieee80211_scan_rx() causes kernel crash in
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data().

Where is this WARN_ON? I didn't see it cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data()
Please add more information on why the values of min_hdr_len in this
patch make sense for each of these cases.

Is the above check necessary? This doesn't look right. This skips
the ieee80211_is_s1g_beacon() all together.

Why not compare the header offset you expect here instead of 15 and
return?

Can you explain why it makes sense to remove < 24 check?

Hi Shuah,
The WARN_ON() is located here:
linux/net/wireless/scan.c: 2331
```
if (ieee80211_is_s1g_beacon(mgmt->frame_control)) {
ext = (void *) mgmt;
min_hdr_len = offsetof(struct ieee80211_ext, u.s1g_beacon);
if (ieee80211_is_s1g_short_beacon(mgmt->frame_control))
min_hdr_len = offsetof(struct ieee80211_ext,
u.s1g_short_beacon.variable);
}
if (WARN_ON(len < min_hdr_len)) // <- warn_on line
return NULL;
```
the min_hdr_len that I added in was following the setup of min_hdr_len before that
WARN_ON(len < min_hdr_len)

the original check only has the first two conditions (ieee80211_is_probe_resp()
and ieee80211_is_beacon()), but they were placed after condition of
ieee80211_is_s1g_beacon() not being met. Since I moved these checks at the
above, _before_ the if(ieee80211_is_s1g_beacon()), hence I joined
ieee80211_is_s1g_beacon() with the two orginal conditions.

In fact, I do not understand where 15 (and the 24 shortly after) comes from.
They were there more than 10 years ago, but the more recent guard code in
cfg80211_inform_single_bss_frame_data() on the same header length seems more
correct, therefore I followed examples and copied the calculation from there,
for consistency.

I replaced 24 with
`size_t min_hdr_len = offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u.probe_resp.variable);`
which was found in cfg80211_inform_single_bss_frame_data(), for conditions:
ieee80211_is_probe_resp(mgmt->frame_control)
or
ieee80211_is_beacon(mgmt->frame_control)
