In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtl818x: Kill URBs before clearing tx status queue In rtl8187_stop() move the call of usb_kill_anchored_urbs() before clearing b_tx_status.queue. This change prevents callbacks from using already freed skb due to anchor was not killed before freeing such skb.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: rtl818x: Eliminar URBs antes de borrar la cola de estado de la transmisión. En rtl8187_stop(), la llamada a usb_kill_anchored_urbs() se desplaza antes de borrar b_tx_status.queue. Este cambio impide que las devoluciones de llamada utilicen skb ya liberados, ya que el ancla no se eliminó antes de liberar dicho skb.
