We currently don't validate the beacon head, i.e. the header, fixed part and elements that are to go in front of the TIM element. This means that the variable elements there can be malformed, e.g. have a length exceeding the buffer size, but most downstream code from this assumes that this has already been checked. Add the necessary checks to the netlink policy.

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.
