There are multiple refcounting bugs related to multi-BSSID:
- In bss_ref_get(), if the BSS has a hidden_beacon_bss, then
the bss pointer is overwritten before checking for the
transmitted BSS, which is clearly wrong. Fix this by using
the bss_from_pub() macro.
- In cfg80211_bss_update() we copy the transmitted_bss pointer
from tmp into new, but then if we release new, we'll unref
it erroneously. We already set the pointer and ref it, but
need to NULL it since it was copied from the tmp data.
- In cfg80211_inform_single_bss_data(), if adding to the non-
transmitted list fails, we unlink the BSS and yet still we
return it, but this results in returning an entry without
a reference. We shouldn't return it anyway if it was broken
enough to not get added there.
This fixes CVE-2022-42720.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
