Subject: mac80211: clear sequence/fragment number in QoS-null frames
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.b...@intel.com>
commit 864a6040f395464003af8dd0d8ca86fed19866d4 upstream.
Avoid leaking data by sending uninitialized memory and setting an
invalid (non-zero) fragment number (the sequence number is ignored
anyway) by setting the seq_ctrl field to zero.
Fixes: 3f52b7e328c5 ("mac80211: mesh power save basics")
Fixes: ce662b44ce22 ("mac80211: send (QoS) Null if no buffered frames")
