[PATCH] mac80211: fix potential use-after-free

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The bss struct might be freed in ieee80211_rx_bss_put(),
so we shouldn't use it afterwards.

Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (3.10+)
Fixes: 817cee7675237 ("mac80211: track AP's beacon rate and give it to the driver")
