| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to the cfg80211 function in the Linux kernel, where switching from P2P GO type to ADHOC type via send msg(NL80211 CMD SET INTERFACE) does not call the cleanup function cfg80211 stop ap(), leading to the initialization of in-use data. This can cause the linked list to become corrupt. For example, the path re-initializes the
sdata->assigned chanctx list while it is still an element of the assigned vifs list.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
