wifi: ath11k: fix htt pktlog locking
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.22% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 03ed26935bebf6b6fd8a656490bf3dcc71b72679, 3a51e6b4da71fdfa43ec006d6abc020f3e22d14e, 3f77c7d605b29df277d77e9ee75d96e7ad145d2d.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 03ed26935bebf6b6fd8a656490bf3dcc71b72679, 3a51e6b4da71fdfa43ec006d6abc020f3e22d14e, 3f77c7d605b29df277d77e9ee75d96e7ad145d2d or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix htt pktlog locking The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the htt pktlog handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a read-side critical section. Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid any potential use-after-free issues. Compile tested only.
