In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac80211: fix use-after-free in CCMP/GCMP RX When PN checking is done in
mac80211, for fragmentation we need to copy the PN to the RX struct so we
can later use it to do a comparison, since commit bf30ca922a0c (“mac80211:
check defrag PN against current frame”). Unfortunately, in that commit I
used the ‘hdr’ variable without it being necessarily valid, so
use-after-free could occur if it was necessary to reallocate (parts of) the
frame. Fix this by reloading the variable after the code that results in
the reallocations, if any. This fixes
