| Subject: CVE-2024-53188: wifi: ath12k: fix crash when unbinding |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| wifi: ath12k: fix crash when unbinding |
| |
| If there is an error during some initialization related to firmware, |
| the function ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup is called to release resources. |
| However this is released again when the device is unbinded (ath12k_pci), |
| and we get: |
| BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 |
| at RIP: 0010:ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup.part.0+0xb6/0x500 [ath12k] |
| Call Trace: |
| ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup |
| ath12k_dp_free |
| ath12k_core_deinit |
| ath12k_pci_remove |
| ... |
| |
| The issue is always reproducible from a VM because the MSI addressing |
| initialization is failing. |
| |
| In order to fix the issue, just set to NULL the released structure in |
| ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup at the end. |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-53188 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
