TKIP replay protection was skipped for the very first frame received after a new key is configured. While this is potentially needed to avoid dropping a frame in some cases, this does leave a window for replay attacks with group-addressed frames at the station side. Any earlier frame sent by the AP using the same key would be accepted as a valid frame and the internal RSC would then be updated to the TSC from that frame. This would allow multiple previously transmitted group-addressed frames to be replayed until the next valid new group-addressed frame from the AP is received by the station. Fix this by limiting the no-replay-protection exception to apply only for the case where TSC=0, i.e., when this is for the very first frame protected using the new key, and the local RSC had not been set to a higher value when configuring the key (which may happen with GTK).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
