From 434c8dbf3353a40e931d0db2e35fa2c8b4cbe576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 21:25:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] package/hostapd: fix crash in atheros driver (#8143) hapd->driver->set_operstate may happen when the drv_priv data is not initialized yet, this leads to a null pointer deref in the atheros driver. Protect the operstate call with a check for hapd->drv_priv.
