CVE-2022-50187

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath11k: fix netdev open race Make sure to allocate resources needed before registering the device. This specifically avoids having a racing open() trigger a BUG_ON() in mod_timer() when ath11k_mac_op_start() is called before the mon_reap_timer as been set up. I did not see this issue with next-20220310, but I hit it on every probe with next-20220511. Perhaps some timing changed in between. Here's the backtrace: [ 51.346947] kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:990! [ 51.346958] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ...

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ath11k: corrección de netdev open race. Asegúrese de asignar los recursos necesarios antes de registrar el dispositivo. Esto evita que un open() de ejecución active un BUG_ON() en mod_timer() cuando se llama ath11k_mac_op_start() antes de configurar mon_reap_timer. No observé este problema con next-20220310, pero sí lo encontré en cada sondeo con next-20220511. Quizás se produjo algún cambio de sincronización entre ambos. Aquí está el backtrace: [51.346947] ¡ERROR del kernel en kernel/time/timer.c:990! [ 51.346958] Error interno: Ups - ERROR: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ...
