Subject: RE: [EXT] [PATCH] mwifiex: Fix memory corruption in dump_station

Hi Pali,

> The mwifiex_cfg80211_dump_station() uses static variable for iterating over

> This corruption can be triggered by registering multiple SSIDs and calling, in

>     iw dev <iface> station dump

Thanks for this change.
