CVE-2024-40912
Disclosure Date: July 12, 2024 (last updated August 30, 2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Fix deadlock in ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup()
The ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() function takes sta->ps_lock to
synchronizes with ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() which is called from
softirq context. However using only spin_lock() to get sta->ps_lock in
ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() does not prevent softirq to execute
on this same CPU, to run ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() and try to
take this same lock ending in deadlock. Below is an example of rcu stall
that arises in such situation.
