Subject: mac80211: fix NULL pointer crash in monitor frame injection TX path
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b86545c86dbb407b3d27f20d56fbaad3154c0d75;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fthess.git

mac80211: fix NULL pointer crash in monitor frame injection TX path

This "patch to the patch" fixes a NULL pointer derefence crash in the new
intermediate software queues. The crash can be reproduced by injecting an
802.11 frame with a BSSID that does not belong to a configured vif. The
wperf tool (https://github.com/anyfi/wperf) may be convenient for doing
this.
