+Subject: cfg80211: Fix possible memory leak in function cfg80211_bss_update
+
+From: Nguyen Dinh Phi <phind.uet@gmail.com>
+
+commit f9a5c358c8d26fed0cc45f2afc64633d4ba21dff upstream.
+
+When we exceed the limit of BSS entries, this function will free the
+new entry, however, at this time, it is the last door to access the
+inputed ies, so these ies will be unreferenced objects and cause memory
+leak.
+Therefore we should free its ies before deallocating the new entry, beside
+of dropping it from hidden_list.
