Subject: [PATCH 1/3] station: fix use-after-free in preauthenticate_cb
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 19:34:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716023444.3512595-2-suchirkavi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716023444.3512595-1-suchirkavi@gmail.com>
station_preauthenticate_cb() falls through its error branch: after
unreffing new_hs on a failed station_transition_reassociate(), it
proceeds to swap station->hs to a reference on the freed handshake.
Return instead.
