Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: reject zero cookie in mgmt-tx/roc cancel
Date: Tue,  1 Dec 2015 23:22:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449008554-8907-1-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

When cancelling, you can cancel "any" (first in list) mgmt-tx
or remain-on-channel operation by using the value 0 for the
cookie along with the *opposite* operation, i.e.
 * cancel the first mgmt-tx by cancelling roc with 0 cookie
 * cancel the first roc by cancelling mgmt-tx with 0 cookie

This isn't really that bad since userspace should only pass
cookies that we gave it, but could lead to hard-to-debug
issues so better prevent it and reject zero values since we
never hand those out.
