Remi Pommarel a104042e2b wifi: mac80211: Update skb's control block key in ieee80211_tx_dequeue()
The ieee80211 skb control block key (set when skb was queued) could have
been removed before ieee80211_tx_dequeue() call. ieee80211_tx_dequeue()
already called ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() to get the current key, but
the latter do not update the key in skb control block in case it is
NULL. Because some drivers actually use this key in their TX callbacks
(e.g. ath1{1,2}k_mac_op_tx()) this could lead to the use after free
below:

Reset SKB control block key before calling ieee80211_tx_h_select_key()
to avoid that.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
