From 265698d7e6132a2d41471135534f4f36ad15b09c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 22:46:36 +0200 Subject: nl80211: fix null-ptr dereference on invalid mesh configuration If TX rates are specified during mesh join, the channel must also be specified. Check the channel pointer to avoid a null pointer dereference if it isn't.
