Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix possible sta leak
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2019 09:30:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190801073033.7892-1-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
If TDLS station addition is rejected, the sta memory is leaked.
Avoid this by moving the check before the allocation.
Fixes: 7ed5285396c2 ("mac80211: don't initiate TDLS connection if station is not associated to AP")
