[PATCH] mac80211: Fix oops in OCB mode when receiving data when not joined

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

 



The current implementation in ocb.c can cause a kernel oops when the
interface is up, but no ocb has been joined. When data is received
with the broadcast BSSID rx_no_sta is called. This function uses
uninitialized variables because the join function has not yet been used.
