    wifi: mac80211: fix potential key use-after-free · 31db78a4
    Johannes Berg authored
    When ieee80211_key_link() is called by ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add()
    but returns 0 due to KRACK protection (identical key reinstall),
    ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add() will still return a pointer into the
    key, in a potential use-after-free. This normally doesn't happen
    since it's only called by iwlwifi in case of WoWLAN rekey offload
    which has its own KRACK protection, but still better to fix, do
    that by returning an error code and converting that to success on
    the cfg80211 boundary only, leaving the error for bad callers of
    ieee80211_gtk_rekey_add().
