CVE-2024-58097: wifi: ath11k: fix RCU stall while reaping monitor destination ring
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)
- 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. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 16c6c35c03ea73054a1f6d3302a4ce4a331b427d, 8db5de0cf02fccf4c759aa58edbe65659daf607c, 9f1a002f0171d27f3554e529f3c70df438f05dfe.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 16c6c35c03ea73054a1f6d3302a4ce4a331b427d, 8db5de0cf02fccf4c759aa58edbe65659daf607c, 9f1a002f0171d27f3554e529f3c70df438f05dfe or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix RCU stall while reaping monitor destination ring While processing the monitor destination ring, MSDUs are reaped from the link descriptor based on the corresponding buf_id. However, sometimes the driver cannot obtain a valid buffer corresponding to the buf_id received from the hardware. This causes an infinite loop in the destination processing, resulting in a kernel crash. kernel log: ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309 ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309 ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed Fix this by skipping the problematic buf_id and reaping the next entry, replacing the break with the next MSDU processing.
