CVE-2024-36970

  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2024-36970
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: Use request_module_nowait This appears to work around a deadlock regression that came in with the LED merge in 6.9. The deadlock happens on my system with 24 iwlwifi radios, so maybe it something like all worker threads are busy and some work that needs to complete cannot complete. [also remove unnecessary "load_module" var and now-wrong comment]

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: iwlwifi: use request_module_nowait Esto parece solucionar una regresión de punto muerto que apareció con la combinación de LED en 6.9. El punto muerto ocurre en mi sistema con 24 radios iwlwifi, por lo que tal vez sea algo así como que todos los subprocesos de trabajo están ocupados y algunos trabajos que deben completarse no se pueden completar. [elimine también la var "load_module" innecesaria y el comentario ahora incorrecto]
