[PATCH 07/16] mwifiex: fix NULL pointer dereference during hidden SSID scan

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

 



From: Aniket Nagarnaik <aniketn@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This NULL pointer dereference is observed during suspend resume
stress test. All pending commands are cancelled when system goes
into suspend state. There a corner case in which host may receive
response for last scan command after this and try to trigger extra
active scan for hidden SSIDs.

The issue is fixed by adding a NULL check to skip that extra scan.

Fixes: 2375fa2b36feaf34 (mwifiex: fix unable to connect hidden SSID..)
