Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: check A-MSDU inner frame source address on AP interfaces
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 13:25:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474802758-14502-1-git-send-email-michael-dev@fami-braun.de> (raw)

When using WPA security, the station and thus the required key is
identified by its mac address when packets are received. So a
station usually cannot spoof its source mac address.

But when a station sends an A-MSDU frame, port control and crypto
is done using the outer mac address, while the packets delivered
and forwarded use the inner mac address.

IEEE 802.11-2012 mandates that the outer source mac address should
match the inner source address (section 8.3.2.2). For the
destination mac address, matching is not required (section 10.23.15).
