[PATCH 2/2] cfg80211: scan: fix RCU in cfg80211_add_nontrans_list()

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The SSID pointer is pointing to RCU protected data, so we
need to have it under rcu_read_lock() for the entire use.
Fix this.

Fixes: 0b8fb8235be8 ("cfg80211: Parsing of Multiple BSSID information in scanning")
