mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie() calls memcpy() unconditionally in a couple places without checking the destination size. Since the source is given from user-space, this may trigger a heap buffer overflow. Fix it by putting the length check before performing memcpy(). This fix addresses CVE-2019-3846.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
