Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: fix potential use after free in iwl_mld_remove_link()
This code frees "link" by calling kfree_rcu(link, rcu_head) and then it
dereferences "link" to get the "link->fw_id". Save the "link->fw_id"
first to avoid a potential use after free.
A use-after-free was found in the Intel iwlwifi driver in the Linux kernel. The iwl_mld_remove_link() function frees a link structure via kfree_rcu() but then dereferences it to read fw_id. Since RCU freeing is asynchronous, this creates a potential use-after-free window.
Отчет
Intel WiFi adapters using the iwlwifi driver are affected. The race window is small since kfree_rcu deferral provides some protection, but the code is nonetheless incorrect and could cause issues under memory pressure.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the iwlwifi module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
