Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: sdata can be NULL during AMPDU start

ieee80211_tx_ba_session_handle_start() may get NULL for sdata when a
deauthentication is ongoing.

Here a trace triggering the race with the hostapd test
multi_ap_fronthaul_on_ap:

(gdb) list *drv_ampdu_action+0x46
0x8b16 is in drv_ampdu_action (net/mac80211/driver-ops.c:396).
391 int ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
392
393 might_sleep();
394
395 sdata = get_bss_sdata(sdata);
396 if (!check_sdata_in_driver(sdata))
397 return -EIO;
