"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied

- wifi: libipw: fix key index receive bound checks libipw_rx() reads skb->data[hdrlen + 3] to extract the
WEP key index in both the software-decrypt key selection path and the hardware-decrypted IV/ICV strip
path. In both places the existing guard only checks skb->len >= hdrlen + 3, which proves bytes up to
hdrlen + 2 but not the byte at hdrlen + 3. Require hdrlen + 4 bytes before reading that item in both
paths. This is a local source-boundary check only; it does not change the key index semantics.
