Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix invalid access to memory In ath12k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce(), rxcb is fetched from skb and boolean is_continuation is part of rxcb. Currently, after freeing the skb, the rxcb->is_continuation accessed again which is wrong since the memory is already freed. This might lead use-after-free error. Hence, fix by locally defining bool is_continuation from rxcb, so that after freeing skb, is_continuation can be used. Compile tested only.
Отчет
This patch addresses a use-after-free vulnerability in the ath12k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce() function, where memory was accessed after freeing the associated skb. Specifically, the rxcb->is_continuation field was read post-free, leading to potential kernel crashes. The patch stores the value before freeing the buffer. The Required Privileges for CVSS is Low (PR:L), because triggering this flaw likely requires the ability to inject or manipulate network traffic handled by the Wi-Fi driver, which is feasible from a local user space process using standard socket interfaces or crafted packets.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module ath12k from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
