Subject: mac80211: fix queue selection for data frames on monitor interfaces
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 06:47:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B4ABB54.7030600@openwrt.org> (raw)
When ieee80211_monitor_select_queue encounters data frames, it selects
the WMM AC based on skb->priority and assumes that skb->priority
contains a valid 802.1d tag. However this assumption is incorrect, since
ieee80211_select_queue has not been called at this point.
If skb->priority > 7, an array overrun occurs, which could lead to
invalid values, resulting in crashes in the tx path.
Fix this by setting skb->priority based on the 802.11 header for QoS
frames and using the default AC for all non-QoS frames.
