Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: check management frame header length
X-Extended-Stable: 3.5

commit 4a4f1a5808c8bb0b72a4f6e5904c53fb8c9cd966 upstream.

Due to pskb_may_pull() checking the skb length, all
non-management frames are checked on input whether
their 802.11 header is fully present. Also add that
check for management frames and remove a check that
is now duplicate. This prevents accessing skb data
beyond the frame end.
