Vulnerability Title
wifi: ath11k: fix monitor mode bringup crash
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix monitor mode bringup crash When the interface is brought up in monitor mode, it leads to NULL pointer dereference crash. This crash happens when the packet type is extracted for a SKB. This extraction which is present in the received msdu delivery path,is not needed for the monitor ring packets since they are all RAW packets. Hence appending the flags with "RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR" to skip that extraction. Observed calltrace: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000064 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000004 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 CM = 0, WnR = 0 user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000048517000 [0000000000000064] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: ath11k_pci ath11k qmi_helpers CPU: 2 PID: 1781 Comm: napi/-271 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc5-wt-ath-656295-gef907406320c-dirty #6 Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
