Incorrect num_elem parameter value (1 vs. 5) was used in the
aes_siv_encrypt() call. This resulted in only the first one of the five
AAD vectors to SIV getting included in calculation. This does not
protect all the contents correctly and would not interoperate with a
standard compliant implementation.

Fix this by using the correct number. A matching fix is needed in the AP
side (hostapd) to get FILS authentication working properly.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
