Subject: Double 'put' of bss in mac80211/mlme.c?
Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:34:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51BBA888.7030309@candelatech.com> (raw)
Looks like an easy way to leak ies would be to mess up the
ref counting on bss objects.
While looking at such code, I found this in mac80211/mlme.c
The destroy_assoc_data does a put_bss, and then it is put again
directly. Is this on purpose, or would this effectively cause
a double-free?
if (!ieee80211_assoc_success(sdata, *bss, mgmt, len)) {
/* oops -- internal error -- send timeout for now */
ieee80211_destroy_assoc_data(sdata, false);
cfg80211_put_bss(sdata->local->hw.wiphy, *bss);
return RX_MGMT_CFG80211_ASSOC_TIMEOUT;
}
Thanks,
Ben
