[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] mac80211: fix potential use-after-free

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit d2722f8b87fb172ff2f31d3a2816b31d58678d40 upstream.

The bss struct might be freed in ieee80211_rx_bss_put(),
so we shouldn't use it afterwards.

Fixes: 817cee7675237 ("mac80211: track AP's beacon rate and give it to the driver")
