[PATCH] staging: rtl8192u: Fix use after free in ieee80211_rx()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We cannot dereference the "skb" pointer after calling
ieee80211_monitor_rx(), because it is a use after free.

Fixes: 8fc8598e61f6 ("Staging: Added Realtek rtl8192u driver to staging")
