[PATCH] wifi: mac80211: change initialize for sk_buff in ieee80211_tx_dequeue()

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

 



The sk_buff is only set to NULL when initialize, sometimes it will goto
label "begin" after ieee80211_free_txskb(), then it points to a sk_buff
which is already freed. If it run into the "goto out" after arrived to
label "begin", then it will return a sk_buff which is freed, it is a
risk for use-after-free.
