[PATCH v2] ath9k: ath9k_htc_rx_msg: return when sk_buff is too small

From: Phillip Potter
Date: Sun May 02 2021 - 17:26:34 EST


At the start of ath9k_htc_rx_msg, we check to see if the skb pointer is
valid, but what we don't do is check if it is large enough to contain a
valid struct htc_frame_hdr. We should check for this and return if not,
as the buffer is invalid in this case. Fixes a KMSAN-found uninit-value bug

V2:
* Free skb properly when this problem is detected, as pointed out by
Florian Westphal.
