This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled cfg80211: wext: clear sinfo struct before calling driver to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt14. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From c38a840fe419f251ffffc183e0804f4a52cdd8a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 21:35:44 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: wext: clear sinfo struct before calling driver commit 9c5a18a31b321f120efda412281bb9f610f84aa0 upstream. Until recently, mac80211 overwrote all the statistics it could provide when getting called, but it now relies on the struct having been zeroed by the caller. This was always the case in nl80211, but wext used a static struct which could even cause values from one device leak to another. Using a static struct is OK (as even documented in a comment) since the whole usage of this function and its return value is always locked under RTNL. Not clearing the struct for calling the driver has always been wrong though, since drivers were free to only fill values they could report, so calling this for one device and then for another would always have leaked values from one to the other. Fix this by initializing the structure in question before the driver method call.
