NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool package and not the bpftool package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: cfg80211: sme: cap SSID length in __cfg80211_connect_result()

If the ssid->datalen is more than IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN (32) it would lead to memory corruption so add some bounds checking.
