[PATCH v3 1/2] mac80211_hwsim: fix possible race condition in usage of info->control.sta & control.vif

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

 



info->control.sta and control.vif may only be dereferenced during the
drv_tx call otherwise could lead to use-after-free bugs.
