Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A soft lockup issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the rtw89 entity recalc mgnt roles() function. This issue occurs when the function attempts to re-order a list and fails to properly abort the list for each entry loop after finding an entry with a target pattern. Normally, this would not cause a problem, but in certain special cases, it can lead to a soft lockup. The issue is characterized by a watchdog bug, where the CPU becomes stuck for an extended period.

Recommendations To resolve this issue, apply the fix by using goto fill to break from the list for each entry loop in the rtw89 entity recalc mgnt roles() function. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
