In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix initialization of rx->link and rx->link_sta
There are some codepaths that do not initialize rx->link_sta properly. This
causes a crash in places which assume that rx->link_sta is valid if rx->sta
is valid.
One known instance is triggered by __ieee80211_rx_h_amsdu being called from
fast-rx. It results in a crash like this one:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000a8

Since the initialization of rx->link and rx->link_sta is rather convoluted
and duplicated in many places, clean it up by using a helper function to
set it.
[remove unnecessary rx->sta->sta.mlo check]
