New subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] sae: fix potential integer overflow
If an authentication frame of length <= 5 is sent sae will overflow an
integer. The original cause of this was due to incorrectly using the
sizeof(struct mmpdu_header). The header can be either 24 or 28 bytes
depending on fc.order. sizeof does not account for this so 28 is always
the calculated length.
This, in addition to hostapd not including a group number when rejecting,
cause this erroneous length calculation to be worked around as seen in
the removed comment. The comment is still valid (and described again
in another location) but the actual check for len == 4 is not correct.
To fix this we now rely on mpdu_validate to check that the authentication
frame is valid, and then subtract the actual header length using
mmpdu_header_len rather than sizeof. Doing this lets us also remove the
length check since it was validated previously.

-v3:
* Removed length check as mpdu_validate does this for us
* Use mmpdu_header_len instead of auth - hdr calculation

New subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] sae: fix inproper return value in sae_verify_accepted
This function was returning a boolean and the expected return was
a signed integer. Since this function actually returned false in
all cases the check for a success (0) return always worked.
The comment about the 'standard code path' was removed as this is
no longer valid.
