[062/200] mac80211: Fix robust management frame handling (MFP)

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Jul 01 2010 - 17:53:26 EST


2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jouni Malinen <j@xxxxx>

commit d211e90e28a074447584729018a39910d691d1a8 upstream.

Commit e34e09401ee9888dd662b2fca5d607794a56daf2 incorrectly removed
use of ieee80211_has_protected() from the management frame case and in
practice, made this validation drop all Action frames when MFP is
enabled. This should have only been done for frames with Protected
field set to zero.
