Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: mac80211: check tdls flag in ieee80211_tdls_oper<br />
<br />
When NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK is called, the code only checks if the<br />
station exists but not whether it is actually a TDLS station. This<br />
allows the operation to proceed for non-TDLS stations, causing<br />
unintended side effects like modifying channel context and HT<br />
protection before failing.<br />
<br />
Add a check for sta->sta.tdls early in the ENABLE_LINK case, before<br />
any side effects occur, to ensure the operation is only allowed for<br />
actual TDLS peers.
