Subject[PATCH 3.14 42/83] mac80211: fix potential use-after-free
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

commit d2722f8b87fb172ff2f31d3a2816b31d58678d40 upstream.

The bss struct might be freed in ieee80211_rx_bss_put(),
so we shouldn't use it afterwards.

Fixes: 817cee7675237 ("mac80211: track AP's beacon rate and give it to the driver")
