[PATCH v3 01/22] staging: rtl8723bs: fix potential out-of-bounds read in rtw_restruct_wmm_ie

[luka.gejak]

From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>

The current code checks 'i + 5 < in_len' at the end of the if statement.
However, it accesses 'in_ie[i + 5]' before that check, which can lead
to an out-of-bounds read. Move the length check to the beginning of the
conditional to ensure the index is within bounds before accessing the
array.

You have mixed bugfixes that should go into 7.0-final with cleanups in
the same series, makeing it a mess for me to try to apply this.  Can you
resend this as two different series, one with just bugfixes for
7.0-final and the rest being the normal coding style cleanups?  That way
I can apply them properly.

thanks,
