In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac80211: fix crash in ieee80211chanbwchange for APVLAN stations
ieee80211chanbwchange() iterates all stations and accesses link->reserved.oper via sta->sdata->link[linkid]. For stations on AP_VLAN interfaces (e.g. 4addr WDS clients), sta->sdata points to the VLAN sdata, whose link never participates in chanctx reservations. This leaves link->reserved.oper zero-initialized with chan == NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference in __ieee80211stacaprxbw() when accessing chandef->chan->band during CSA.
Resolve the VLAN sdata to its parent AP sdata using getbsssdata() before accessing link data.
[also change sta->sdata in ARRAY_SIZE even if it doesn't matter]
