Mitigate A-MSDU injection attacks (CVE-2020-24588) by detecting if the destination address of a subframe equals an RFC1042 (i.e., LLC/SNAP) header, and if so dropping the complete A-MSDU frame. This mitigates known attacks, although new (unknown) aggregation-based attacks may remain possible. This defense works because in A-MSDU aggregation injection attacks, a normal encrypted Wi-Fi frame is turned into an A-MSDU frame. This means the first 6 bytes of the first A-MSDU subframe correspond to an RFC1042 header. In other words, the destination MAC address of the first A-MSDU subframe contains the start of an RFC1042 header during an aggregation attack. We can detect this and thereby prevent this specific attack. For details, see Section 7.2 of "Fragment and Forge: Breaking Wi-Fi Through Frame Aggregation and Fragmentation".

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.
