Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: mac80211_hwsim: drop short frames<br />
<br />
While technically some control frames like ACK are shorter and<br />
end after Address 1, such frames shouldn&#39;t be forwarded through<br />
wmediumd or similar userspace, so require the full 3-address<br />
header to avoid accessing invalid memory if shorter frames are<br />
passed in.
