wifi: nxpwifi: bound uAP association event IEs to the event buffer
nxpwifi_uap_event_sta_assoc() exposes the association request IEs that the firmware reports in the uAP association event, which the driver copies into the fixed-size event_body[] buffer. event->len is supplied by firmware and is not validated. A value smaller than the header underflows the subtraction used for assoc_req_ies_len, while a larger value can make the IE range extend beyond event_body[]. Subsequent IE parsing can then read past the adapter object. Validate both bounds before using the firmware-reported length. nxpwifi was derived from mwifiex before commit f0858bfc7d3c ("wifi: mwifiex: bound uAP association event IEs to the event buffer") and retains the same unchecked length. Apply the equivalent bounds check here.
