From d86d66dc073bc21d3b12faf4112062ae00c1773f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 11:52:04 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] AP: Silently ignore management frame from unexpected source address Do not process any received Management frames with unexpected/invalid SA so that we do not add any state for unexpected STA addresses or end up sending out frames to unexpected destination. This prevents unexpected sequences where an unprotected frame might end up causing the AP to send out a response to another device and that other device processing the unexpected response. In particular, this prevents some potential denial of service cases where the unexpected response frame from the AP might result in a connected station dropping its association.
