It was possible for mac80211 to be coerced into an unexpected flow causing sdata union to become corrupted. Station pointer was put into sdata->u.vlan.sta memory location while it was really master AP's sdata->u.ap.next_beacon. This led to station entry being later freed as next_beacon before __sta_info_flush() in ieee80211_stop_ap() and a subsequent invalid pointer dereference crash. The problem was that ieee80211_ptr->use_4addr wasn't cleared on interface type changes. This could be reproduced with the following steps: # host A and host B have just booted; no # wpa_s/hostapd running; all vifs are down host A> iw wlan0 set type station host A> iw wlan0 set 4addr on host A> printf 'interface=wlan0\nssid=4addrcrash\nchannel=1\nwds_sta=1' > /tmp/hconf host A> hostapd -B /tmp/conf host B> iw wlan0 set 4addr on host B> ifconfig wlan0 up host B> iw wlan0 connect -w hostAssid host A> pkill hostapd # host A crashed: [ 127.928192] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000006c8 [ 127.929014] IP: [<ffffffff816f4f32>] __sta_info_flush+0xac/0x158 ...
