CVE-2024-56541
Disclosure Date: December 27, 2024 (last updated February 27, 2025)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix use-after-free in ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup()
During ath12k module removal, in ath12k_core_deinit(),
ath12k_mac_destroy() un-registers ah->hw from mac80211 and frees
the ah->hw as well as all the ar's in it. After this
ath12k_core_soc_destroy()-> ath12k_dp_free()-> ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup()
tries to access one of the freed ar's from pending skb.
This is because during mac destroy, driver failed to flush few
data packets, which were accessed later in ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup()
and freed, but using ar from the packet led to this use-after-free.
