Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: fix null-ptr dereference on invalid mesh configuration
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 22:50:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170918205010.16669-1-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
If TX rates are specified during mesh join, the channel must
also be specified. Check the channel pointer to avoid a null
pointer dereference if it isn't.
Reported-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
Fixes: 8564e38206de ("cfg80211: add checks for beacon rate, extend to mesh")
