patch: git diff file

FreeBSD accepts fragmented 802.11 frames in a protected Wi-Fi network even =
when
some of the fragments were not encrypted. This corresponds to CVE-2020-2614=
7 of
the "FragAttacks" research. For background see Section 6.3 in
https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/usenix2021.pdf

This vulnerability can be reproduced using the FragAttack test tool at
https://github.com/vanhoefm/fragattacks with the test case "ping I,P,E" and=
/or
"ping I,P,E" (the transmitted ping request should be rejected by the kernel=
).

The attached patches fixes this vulnerability. It was tested using a Belkin
F5D8053 (run driver) in client mode. I'm not sure if I'm using the best way=
 to
track whether a fragment was encrypted, but it gets the job done with a low
number of code changes.

FYI: I've submitted a similar patch to NetBSD:
