*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

The ieee80211_fragment function in net/mac80211/tx.c in the Linux kernel
before 3.13.5 does not properly maintain a certain tail pointer, which
allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information by
reading packets.
