[PATCH v2] mac80211: validate skb->dev in the tx status path

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

 



skb->dev might contain a stale reference to a device that was already
deleted, and using it unchecked can lead to invalid pointer accesses.
Since this is only used for nl80211 tx, iterate over active interfaces
to find a match for skb->dev, and discard the tx status if the device
is gone.
