[PATCH 4.9 73/92] mwifiex: Fix NULL pointer dereference in skb_dequeue()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 09:23:19 EST
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Amitkumar Karwar <akarwar@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c44c040300d7afd79294710313a4989683e2afb1 upstream.
At couple of places in cleanup path, we are just going through the
skb queue and freeing them without unlinking. This leads to a crash
when other thread tries to do skb_dequeue() and use already freed node.
The problem is freed by unlinking skb before freeing it.
