Subject: [PATCH] mac80211 fix regression introduced by "mac80211: free up 2 bytes in skb->cb"
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:57:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48F515D7.9030002@openwrt.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1223990364.10113.28.camel@johannes.berg>
The hw_key pointer is used (and obviously NULL) after skb->cb is
memset to 0. This patch grabs the iv_len before the memset call.
