Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: remove station if connection prep fails
If connection preparation fails for MLO connections, then the
interface is completely reset to non-MLD. In this case, we must
not keep the station since it's related to the link of the vif
being removed. Delete an existing station. Any "new_sta" is
already being removed, so that doesn't need changes.
This fixes a use-after-free/double-free in debugfs if that's
enabled, because a vif going from MLD (and to MLD, but that's
not relevant here) recreates its entire debugfs.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 Wi-Fi subsystem. When Multi-Link Operation (MLO) connection preparation fails, the system may not correctly remove the associated station. This can lead to a use-after-free or double-free vulnerability in the debugfs component, potentially causing system instability or unexpected behavior.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability on systems that do not require Wi-Fi connectivity, prevent the mac80211 kernel module from loading.
- Blacklist the module by creating a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/:
- If the module is currently loaded, unload it or restart the system:
Caveats: Disabling mac80211 disables all Wi-Fi functionality on the host. Unloading kernel modules or restarting the system will interrupt active network services and running workloads. If dependent wireless drivers are actively in use, a system reboot is required for the configuration to take effect.
