From the patch series description:
Several security issues in the 802.11 implementations were found by
Mathy Vanhoef (New York University Abu Dhabi), who has published all
the details at
https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/usenix2021.pdf
Specifically, the following CVEs were assigned:
* CVE-2020-24586 - Fragmentation cache not cleared on reconnection
* CVE-2020-24587 - Reassembling fragments encrypted under different
keys
* CVE-2020-24588 - Accepting non-SPP A-MSDU frames, which leads to
payload being parsed as an L2 frame under an
A-MSDU bit toggling attack
* CVE-2020-26139 - Forwarding EAPOL from unauthenticated sender
* CVE-2020-26140 - Accepting plaintext data frames in protected
networks
* CVE-2020-26141 - Not verifying TKIP MIC of fragmented frames
* CVE-2020-26142 - Processing fragmented frames as full frames
* CVE-2020-26143 - Accepting fragmented plaintext frames in
protected networks
* CVE-2020-26144 - Always accepting unencrypted A-MSDU frames that
start with RFC1042 header with EAPOL ethertype
* CVE-2020-26145 - Accepting plaintext broadcast fragments as full
frames
* CVE-2020-26146 - Reassembling encrypted fragments with non-consecutive
packet numbers
* CVE-2020-26147 - Reassembling mixed encrypted/plaintext fragments
In general, the scope of these attacks is that they may allow an
attacker to
* inject L2 frames that they can more or less control (depending on the
vulnerability and attack method) into an otherwise protected network;
* exfiltrate (some) network data under certain conditions, this is
specific to the fragmentation issues.
A subset of these issues is known to apply to the Linux IEEE 802.11
implementation (mac80211). Where it is affected, the attached patches
fix the issues, even if not all of them reference the exact CVE IDs.
In addition, driver and/or firmware updates may be necessary, as well
as potentially more fixes to mac80211, depending on how drivers are
using it.
Specifically, for Intel devices, firmware needs to be updated to the
most recently released versions (which was done without any reference
to the security issues) to address some of the vulnerabilities.
To have a single set of patches, I'm also including patches for the
ath10k and ath11k drivers here.
We currently don't have information about how other drivers are, if
at all, affected.

The removed patches were applied upstream and are not needed anymore.

Missing braces in a macro were leading to badly working rates sometimes
getting a success probabilty of 1.0

(cherry-picked from commit 12cb52bd06)
When transmitting to a receiver in dynamic SMPS mode, all transmissions that
use multiple spatial streams need to be sent using CTS-to-self or RTS/CTS to
give the receiver's extra chains some time to wake up.
This fixes the tx rate getting stuck at <= MCS7 for some clients, especially
Intel ones, which make aggressive use of SMPS.

On hardware that supports this, this will improve performance by passing
802.3 frames from the hardware to the stack

The removed patches were applied upstream.
This adapts ath10k-ct and mt76 to changed APIs.
nl80211.h in iw is updated to match the version from backports.

The removed patches were applied upstream.
Remove the 300-mac80211-optimize-skb-resizing.patch.
This patch was not applied upstream, but it conflicts with upstream
changes and needs bigger changes. It was applied with Felix to remove
this patch for now. It should be reworked and then send upstream later.

Multiple sources are hosted on OpenWrts source server only. The source
URLs to point to the server vary based on different epochs in OpenWrts
history.
Replace all by @OPENWRT which is an "empty" mirror, therefore using the
fallback servers sources.cdn.openwrt.org and sources.openwrt.org.

If the driver uses .sta_add, station entries are only uploaded after the sta
is in assoc state. Fix early station rate table updates by deferring them
until the sta has been uploaded

Enable support for the Ubiquiti UniFi Outdoor+ RF filter via
device-tree. The old way of using platform data is not required anymore,
as it was only used on the now removed ar71xx target.

This patch adds wil6210 driver for Wilocity/QCA based 802.11ad
PCI cards.
Driver uses cfg80211 and nl80211 but not mac80211.
Integration for UCI and LuCI will come in other patches.

Legacy minstrel is essentially unmaintained and was showing poor performance
