Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: ath12k: Fix memory leak due to multiple rx_stats allocation<br />
<br />
rx_stats for each arsta is allocated when adding a station.<br />
arsta->rx_stats will be freed when a station is removed.<br />
<br />
Redundant allocations are occurring when the same station is added<br />
multiple times. This causes ath12k_mac_station_add() to be called<br />
multiple times, and rx_stats is allocated each time. As a result there<br />
is memory leaks.<br />
<br />
Prevent multiple allocations of rx_stats when ath12k_mac_station_add()<br />
is called repeatedly by checking if rx_stats is already allocated<br />
before allocating again. Allocate arsta->rx_stats if arsta->rx_stats<br />
is NULL respectively.<br />
