Race condition in the mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.13.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via network traffic that improperly interacts with the WLAN_STA_PS_STA state (aka power-save mode), related to sta_info.c and tx.c.
A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's mac80211 subsystem implementation handled synchronization between TX and STA wake-up code paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2014-2706 [HIGH] CVE-2014-2706 Kernel: net: mac80211: crash dues to AP powersave TX vs. wakeup race
CVE-2014-2706 Kernel: net: mac80211: crash dues to AP powersave TX vs. wakeup race
A Linux kernel built with a Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack
(CONFIG_MAC80211) is vulnerable to a crash caused by a race condition in frame
transmission path and station wakeup event, in case when it's sleeping.
The crash occurs because, mac80211 stack buffers frames when the station is
sleeping, and the same are transmitted upon the station's(STA) wakeup. At this
point, a buffered TX frame list is being emptied, while a new frame is being
added to the RX list.
A remote unprivileged user/program could use this flaw to crash the system
kernel, resulting in DoS.
