Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: mesh: Fix leak of mesh_preq_queue objects
The hwmp code use objects of type mesh_preq_queue, added to a list in
ieee80211_if_mesh, to keep track of mpath we need to resolve. If the mpath
gets deleted, ex mesh interface is removed, the entries in that list will
never get cleaned. Fix this by flushing all corresponding items of the
preq_queue in mesh_path_flush_pending().
This should take care of KASAN reports like this:
