Two IE parsing loops are missing the header bounds checks before they
dereference pIE->length:
- issue_assocreq() walks pmlmeinfo->network.ies to build the
association request. If the stored IE data ends with only an
element_id byte and no length byte, pIE->length is read one byte
past the end of the buffer.
- join_cmd_hdl() walks pnetwork->ies during station join and has
the same problem under the same conditions.
Both buffers are filled from AP beacon and probe-response frames, so a
malicious AP that sends a truncated final IE can trigger the issue.
Apply the two-guard pattern established in update_beacon_info():
1. Break if fewer than sizeof(*pIE) bytes remain.
2. Break if the IE's declared data extends past the buffer end.
