Commit ff05d4b45dd89b922578dac497dcabf57cf771c6 upstream.
This is a different version of the commit, changed to store
the non-transmitted profile in the elems, and freeing it in
the few places where it's relevant, since that is only the
case when the last argument for parsing (the non-tx BSSID)
is non-NULL.
When we parse a multi-BSSID element, we might point some
element pointers into the allocated nontransmitted_profile.
However, we free this before returning, causing UAF when the
relevant pointers in the parsed elements are accessed.
Fix this by not allocating the scratch buffer separately but
as part of the returned structure instead, that way, there
are no lifetime issues with it.
The scratch buffer introduction as part of the returned data
here is taken from MLO feature work done by Ilan.
This fixes CVE-2022-42719.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
