Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: check/clear fast rx for non-4addr sta VLAN changes

When moving a station out of a VLAN and deleting the VLAN afterwards, the

fast_rx entry still holds a pointer to the VLAN's netdev, which can cause

use-after-free bugs. Fix this by immediately calling ieee80211_check_fast_rx

after the VLAN change.
