[PATCH] nl80211: Move ACL parsing later to avoid a possible memory leak

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

 



No support for pbss results in a memory leak for the acl_data
(if parse_acl_data succeeds). Fix this by moving the ACL parsing later.

Fixes: 34d505193bd10 ("cfg80211: basic support for PBSS network type")
