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

wifi: mac80211: sdata can be NULL during AMPDU start

ieee80211_tx_ba_session_handle_start() may get NULL for sdata when a
deauthentication is ongoing.

Here a trace triggering the race with the hostapd test
multi_ap_fronthaul_on_ap:

(gdb) list *drv_ampdu_action+0x46

395 sdata = get_bss_sdata(sdata);
