commit b2d03cabe2b2e150ff5a381731ea0355459be09f upstream. If beacon protection is active but the beacon cannot be decrypted or is otherwise malformed, we call the cfg80211 API to report this to userspace, but that uses a netdev pointer, which isn't present for P2P-Device. Fix this to call it only conditionally to ensure cfg80211 won't crash in the case of P2P-Device. This fixes CVE-2022-42722.

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.
