[PATCH] mac80211: fix invalid kfree on sched scan

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

 



Commit 30dd3ed ("mac80211: don't hang on to sched_scan_ies")
converted sched_scan_ies to a local variable.
However, since it wasn't initialized, in a case of
unsupported band, sched_scan_ies.ie[] was uninitialized,
and freeing it could corrupt the memory.

Fix it by simply initializing sched_scan_ies to 0.
