Message-Id: <20130203144651.350330525@decadent.org.uk> Date: Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:48:06 +0100 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org Cc: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>, "John W. Linville" <linville@...driver.com> Subject: [ 082/128] ath9k: fix double-free bug on beacon generate failure 3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org> commit 1adb2e2b5f85023d17eb4f95386a57029df27c88 upstream. When the next beacon is sent, the ath_buf from the previous run is reused. If getting a new beacon from mac80211 fails, bf->bf_mpdu is not reset, yet the skb is freed, leading to a double-free on the next beacon tx attempt, resulting in a system crash.
