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

Description A read-after-free issue was found in the Linux kernel, specifically in the ath12k wifi module. The problem occurs in the ath12k mac assign vif to vdev() function when an arvif is created on a different radio and then deleted, freeing the arvif pointer. A subsequent check involving arvif results in a read-after-free scenario. This issue is resolved by moving the check to after arvif is reassigned via a call to ath12k mac assign link vif().

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
