staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_action_frame_parse()grafted

rtw_action_frame_parse() takes a frame_len parameter but never
actually checks it before indexing into the frame body:

	const u8 *frame_body = frame + sizeof(struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr);
	...
	c = frame_body[0];
	...
	a = frame_body[1];

frame_body already points 24 bytes (sizeof(struct
ieee80211_hdr_3addr)) into frame, so reading frame_body[0] and
frame_body[1] requires frame_len >= 26. A management action frame
shorter than that (e.g. exactly 24 bytes, the minimum a malicious
peer can send) causes a 1-2 byte out-of-bounds read.

This is reachable from rtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() and
cfg80211_rtw_mgmt_tx() in ioctl_cfg80211.c, both of which pass
attacker/user-influenced frame buffers and lengths straight through.

Add the missing length check before frame_body is dereferenced.

+========================
+Linux Switchtec Support
+========================
+
+Microsemi's "Switchtec" line of PCI switch devices is already
+supported by the kernel with standard PCI switch drivers. However, the
+Switchtec device advertises a special management endpoint which
+enables some additional functionality. This includes:
+
+* Packet and Byte Counters
+* Firmware Upgrades
+* Event and Error logs
+* Querying port link status
+* Custom user firmware commands
+
+The switchtec kernel module implements this functionality.
+
+
+Interface
+=========
+
+The primary means of communicating with the Switchtec management firmware is
+through the Memory-mapped Remote Procedure Call (MRPC) interface.
+Commands are submitted to the interface with a 4-byte command
+identifier and up to 1KB of command specific data. The firmware will
+respond with a 4-byte return code and up to 1KB of command-specific
+data. The interface only processes a single command at a time.
+
+
+Userspace Interface
+===================
+
+The MRPC interface will be exposed to userspace through a simple char
+device: /dev/switchtec#, one for each management endpoint in the system.
+
+The char device has the following semantics:
+
+* A write must consist of at least 4 bytes and no more than 1028 bytes.
+  The first 4 bytes will be interpreted as the Command ID and the
+  remainder will be used as the input data. A write will send the
+  command to the firmware to begin processing.
+
+* Each write must be followed by exactly one read. Any double write will
+  produce an error and any read that doesn't follow a write will
+  produce an error.
+
+* A read will block until the firmware completes the command and return
+  the 4-byte Command Return Value plus up to 1024 bytes of output
+  data. (The length will be specified by the size parameter of the read
+  call -- reading less than 4 bytes will produce an error.)
+
+* The poll call will also be supported for userspace applications that
+  need to do other things while waiting for the command to complete.
+
+The following IOCTLs are also supported by the device:
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_FLASH_INFO - Retrieve firmware length and number
+  of partitions in the device.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_FLASH_PART_INFO - Retrieve address and lengeth for
+  any specified partition in flash.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_SUMMARY - Read a structure of bitmaps
+  indicating all uncleared events.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_CTL - Get the current count, clear and set flags
+  for any event. This ioctl takes in a switchtec_ioctl_event_ctl struct
+  with the event_id, index and flags set (index being the partition or PFF
+  number for non-global events). It returns whether the event has
+  occurred, the number of times and any event specific data. The flags
+  can be used to clear the count or enable and disable actions to
+  happen when the event occurs.
+  By using the SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_EVENT_FLAG_EN_POLL flag,
+  you can set an event to trigger a poll command to return with
+  POLLPRI. In this way, userspace can wait for events to occur.
+
+* SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_PFF_TO_PORT and SWITCHTEC_IOCTL_PORT_TO_PFF convert
+  between PCI Function Framework number (used by the event system)
+  and Switchtec Logic Port ID and Partition number (which is more
+  user friendly).
+
+
+Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) Driver
+===================================
+
+An NTB hardware driver is provided for the Switchtec hardware in
+ntb_hw_switchtec. Currently, it only supports switches configured with
+exactly 2 NT partitions and zero or more non-NT partitions. It also requires
+the following configuration settings:
+
+* Both NT partitions must be able to access each other's GAS spaces.
+  Thus, the bits in the GAS Access Vector under Management Settings
+  must be set to support this.
+* Kernel configuration MUST include support for NTB (CONFIG_NTB needs
+  to be set)
+
+NT EP BAR 2 will be dynamically configured as a Direct Window, and
+the configuration file does not need to configure it explicitly.
+
+Please refer to Documentation/driver-api/ntb.rst in Linux source tree for an overall
+understanding of the Linux NTB stack. ntb_hw_switchtec works as an NTB
+Hardware Driver in this stack.
