From a66b98db570a638afd909459e1e6bfa272344bd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@wizery.com> Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:24 +0300 Subject: mac80211: fix rx->key NULL dereference during mic failure Sometimes when reporting a MIC failure rx->key may be unset. This code path is hit when receiving a packet meant for a multicast address, and decryption is performed in HW. Fortunately, the failing key_idx is not used for anything up to (and including) usermode, so we allow ourselves to drop it on the way up when a key cannot be retrieved.
