[PATCH net] wifi: cfg80211: Fix out-of-bounds in cfg80211_wext_siwscan

[Jeongjun Park]

In the process of searching for matching hardware channels, wreq and 
wreq->num_channels are checked to see if they are NULL. However, 
if the value of wreq->num_channels is greater than IW_MAX_FREQUENCIES,
an out-of-bounds vulnerability occurs.

Therefore, you must also add code to check whether the value of 
wreq->num_channels is within the range.

Reguards.
