A wildcard BSSID is used in cases where the transmitter and +recipient are not members of the same BSS. As such, we need to accept +Public Action frames with wildcard BSSID. + +Commit db8e17324553 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when +operating as AP") added a rule that drops Action frames to TDLS-peers +based on an Action frame having different DA (Address 1) and BSSID +(Address 3) values. This is not correct since it misses the possibility +of BSSID being a wildcard BSSID in which case the Address 1 would not +necessarily match. + +Fix this by allowing mac80211 to accept wildcard BSSID in an Action +frame when in AP mode. + +Fixes: db8e17324553 ("mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when operating as AP") +Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org +Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com> +Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> +--- + +--- a/net/mac80211/rx.c ++++ b/net/mac80211/rx.c +@@ -3374,6 +3374,7 @@ static bool ieee80211_accept_frame(struc + return false; + /* ignore action frames to TDLS-peers */ + if (ieee80211_is_action(hdr->frame_control) && ++ !is_broadcast_ether_addr(bssid) && + !ether_addr_equal(bssid, hdr->addr1)) + return false; + } |
