  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nwifi: mac80211: capture fast-RX rate before mesh reuses skb->cb\nieee80211_invoke_fast_rx() reads RX status through\nIEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb), which aliases the same skb->cb storage\nthat ieee80211_rx_mesh_data() reuses as IEEE80211_TX_INFO.  In the\nunicast forward path, mesh_data does:\ninfo = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(fwd_skb);\nmemset(info, 0, sizeof(*info));\non the same skb the caller still names via rx->skb, then either\nqueues the skb for TX (success) or kfree_skb()'s it (no-route)\nbefore returning RX_QUEUED.  The caller's RX_QUEUED arm then\ncalls sta_stats_encode_rate(status) on memory that is either\nzeroed (success path) or freed (no-route path).  The latter is\nKASAN slab-use-after-free in ieee80211_prepare_and_rx_handle.\nFix by encoding the rate from status before invoking\nieee80211_rx_mesh_data(), so the RX_QUEUED arm consumes a value\ncaptured while status was still backed by valid memory.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 Wi-Fi subsystem. This use-after-free vulnerability arises from incorrect handling of fast-RX rate data during mesh processing. This can lead to memory corruption, which an attacker could potentially exploit to cause a system crash (denial of service) or, in some cases, execute unauthorized code." ],
