[PATCH 3.5 33/71] mac80211: clear sequence/fragment number in QoS-null frames

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

 



3.5.7.33 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 864a6040f395464003af8dd0d8ca86fed19866d4 upstream.

Avoid leaking data by sending uninitialized memory and setting an
invalid (non-zero) fragment number (the sequence number is ignored
anyway) by setting the seq_ctrl field to zero.

Fixes: 3f52b7e328c5 ("mac80211: mesh power save basics")
Fixes: ce662b44ce22 ("mac80211: send (QoS) Null if no buffered frames")

[ luis: backported to 3.5:
  - Dropped changes to mps_qos_null_get() as 3f52b7e328c5 ("mac80211: mesh
    power save basics") is not present in 3.5 kernel ]
