I agree with Alan that this is not acceptable use of RADIUS to send keys
without any kind of protection.

This is not needed - the structure is memset to 0 anyway.

This is not acceptable. The RADIUS implementation needs to be able to
live without direct access to core AP structures. In this particular
case, this seems to be just for struct hostapd_ssid and that itself
could be replaced by just passing in the SSID and SSID length. However..

This does not really have anything to do with RADIUS, so it should not
be in src/radius/radius.c but somewhere in src/ap.
