Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath11k: fix missing skb drop on htc_tx_completion error On htc_tx_completion error the skb is not dropped. This is wrong since the completion_handler logic expect the skb to be consumed anyway even when an error is triggered. Not freeing the skb on error is a memory leak since the skb won't be freed anywere else. Correctly free the packet on eid >= ATH11K_HTC_EP_COUNT before returning. Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.5.0.1-01208-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Отчет
This patch fixes a memory leak in the ath11k HTC TX completion handler, where SKBs were not freed on certain error paths (eid out of range). The fix ensures proper resource cleanup by calling dev_kfree_skb_any() for invalid endpoints, preventing gradual memory exhaustion and potential system instability.
