Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: mlme: check for null after calling kmemdup
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2021 18:03:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211231100311.1964437-1-jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

As the possible failure of the alloc, the ifmgd->assoc_req_ies might be
NULL pointer and will be used by cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp() with the wrong
length.
Therefore it might be better to set length to 0 if fails as same as
ieee80211_mgd_stop().

Fixes: 4d9ec73d2b78 ("cfg80211: Report Association Request frame IEs in association events")
