From a282707dd03b6cbf4acc77e2d0e9a4ea1ccb2d04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 16:16:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix double-free bug on beacon generate failure 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.
