In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: ensure offloading TID queue exists
The resume code path assumes that the TX queue for the offloading TID
has been configured. At resume time it then tries to sync the write
pointer as it may have been updated by the firmware.
In the unusual event that no packets have been send on TID 0, the queue
will not have been allocated and this causes a crash. Fix this by
ensuring the queue exist at suspend time.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver for Intel wireless devices. This issue occurs when the system attempts to sync the TX queue for an offloading TID during resume, but the queue is not allocated if no packets have been sent on TID 0.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because it results in a local denial of service through a system crash during power-management resume operations on hardware using Intel wireless devices. Enterprise server installations and cloud instances typically do not deploy or utilize Wi-Fi interfaces, making exposure predominantly restricted to bare-metal client systems. Additionally, the flaw requires specific power state transitions rather than remote trigger mechanisms, which prevents privilege escalation or arbitrary code execution.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
