Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Correct tid cleanup when tid setup fails
Currently, if any error occurs during ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_setup(), the tid value is already incremented, even though the corresponding TID is not actually allocated. Proceed to ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_delete() starting from unallocated tid, which might leads to freeing unallocated TID and cause potential crash or out-of-bounds access.
Hence, fix by correctly decrementing tid before cleanup to match only the successfully allocated TIDs.
Also, remove tid-- from failure case of ath12k_dp_rx_peer_frag_setup(), as decrementing the tid before cleanup in loop will take care of this.
Compile tested only.
Statement
This vulnerability primarily impacts availability, as triggering it can result in a kernel panic and a denial of service. Confidentiality is not impacted as there is no sensitive data being handled or exposed; similarly, integrity could potentially be impacted, but if so, is limited to driver-internal data structures.
