Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: Lock wiphy in cfg80211_get_station
Wiphy should be locked before calling rdev_get_station() (see lockdep assert in ieee80211_get_station()).
This fixes the following kernel NULL dereference:

This happens because STA has time to disconnect and reconnect before batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update() delayed work gets scheduled. In this situation, ath10k_sta_state() can be in the middle of resetting arsta data when the work queue get chance to be scheduled and ends up accessing it. Locking wiphy prevents that.
