wifi: mt76: mt7615: avoid waiting for mac work under the mt76 mutex

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)

  • 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: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 3114d479f2a1d31b2e6214c395794c6e5715e579, 33d29aeb4c0eede92622a7d04ea492b94c30f089, 36c73b86a09f0e51c0f81a75c8945b6c5557ff27.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 3114d479f2a1d31b2e6214c395794c6e5715e579, 33d29aeb4c0eede92622a7d04ea492b94c30f089, 36c73b86a09f0e51c0f81a75c8945b6c5557ff27 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7615: avoid waiting for mac work under the mt76 mutex mt7615_suspend() acquired the mt76 mutex and then called cancel_delayed_work_sync() on mac_work. mt7615_mac_work() acquires the same mutex via mt7615_mutex_acquire() at the top of the worker, so if mac_work is already running and blocked on the mutex, the suspend path deadlocks waiting for the work it holds the mutex against. Flush scan_work and mac_work before taking the mutex, matching the suspend paths in mt7921 and mt7925. scan_work only takes the mt76 spinlock, but moving it keeps the sequence consistent. This also keeps mac_work from running over an already suspended HIF, which the previous split (async cancel under the lock, sync cancel after release) would have allowed.
