Revision 804fc6a2931e692f50e8e317fcb0c8887331b405 authored by Mathy Vanhoef on 19 October 2020, 16:01:13 UTC, committed by Johannes Berg on 30 October 2020, 09:03:24 UTC
When sending EAPOL frames via NL80211 they are treated as injected frames in mac80211. Due to commit 1df2bdba528b ("mac80211: never drop injected frames even if normally not allowed") these injected frames were not assigned a sta context in the function ieee80211_tx_dequeue, causing certain wireless network cards to always send EAPOL frames in plaintext. This may cause compatibility issues with some clients or APs, which for instance can cause the group key handshake to fail and in turn would cause the station to get disconnected. This commit fixes this regression by assigning a sta context in ieee80211_tx_dequeue to injected frames as well. Note that sending EAPOL frames in plaintext is not a security issue since they contain their own encryption and authentication protection.
