[PATCH] cfg80211: fix a crash in nl80211_send_station

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

 



mac80211 leaves sinfo->assoc_req_ies uninitialized, causing a random
pointer memory access in nl80211_send_station.
Instead of checking if the pointer is null, use sinfo->filled, like
the rest of the fields.
