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

wifi: mac80211: fix NULL dereference at band check in starting tx ba session

In MLD connection, link_data/link_conf are dynamically allocated. They
don’t point to vif->bss_conf. So, there will be no chanreq assigned to
vif->bss_conf and then the chan will be NULL. Tweak the code to check
ht_supported/vht_supported/has_he/has_eht on sta deflink.
