Subject: [PATCH wireless-next] wifi: mac80211: reject TDLS operations when station is not associated
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 16:09:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250715230904.661092-2-moonhee.lee.ca@gmail.com> (raw)
syzbot triggered a WARN in ieee80211_tdls_oper() by sending
NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK immediately after NL80211_CMD_CONNECT,
before association completed and without prior TDLS setup.
This left internal state like sdata->u.mgd.tdls_peer uninitialized,
leading to a WARN_ON() in code paths that assumed it was valid.
Reject the operation early if not in station mode or not associated.
Reported-by: syzbot+f73f203f8c9b19037380@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=f73f203f8c9b19037380
Fixes: 81dd2b882241 ("mac80211: move TDLS data to mgd private part")
