Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ath9k: reject short WMI command responses

ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback() removes the validated WMI header and copies
the number of bytes expected by the waiting command into its response
buffer. A device response shorter than that expectation can therefore
be read beyond the skb payload.

Record -EMSGSIZE for a short response, complete the waiter, and return
the stored status from the command path. This also prevents callers from
consuming stale response bytes as a successful reply.
