If the frame is\nshorter than el_off, subtracting it causes the calculated IE length to\nwrap. The length is eventually passed to cfg80211_find_elem_match() as a\nvery large unsigned value, so the element walk runs beyond the RX skb.\n\nThis path is reached from at76_rx_tasklet() while scanning. If the device\ndelivers a truncated beacon or probe response, the oversized IE length\ncauses an out-of-bounds read during scanning.\n\nSkip the IE lookup if the frame does not reach the variable
