In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: mesh: reset the CSA state when leaving
ifmsh->csa is allocated in ieee80211 mesh csa beacon() and only freed
in ieee80211 mesh finish csa(), i.e. when the channel switch completes.
Leaving the mesh while a switch is still pending therefore leaks it.
Additionally, ifmsh->csa role and ifmsh->chsw ttl have their state leak
in this case, so things can get mixed up in addition to the memory
leak.
Refactor the reset and call it in ieee80211 stop mesh() to fix it all.
