commit 270032a2a9c4535799736142e1e7c413ca7b836e upstream. With old ciphers (WEP and TKIP) we shouldn't be using A-MSDUs since A-MSDUs are only supported if we know that they are, and the only practical way for that is HT support which doesn't support old ciphers. However, we would normally accept them anyway. Since we check the MMIC before deaggregating A-MSDUs, and the A-MSDU bit in the QoS header is not protected in TKIP (or WEP), this enables attacks similar to CVE-2020-24588. To prevent that, drop A-MSDUs completely with old ciphers.

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.
