Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux

A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack, during the parsing of a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel versions 5.2 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16, could be exploited by attackers who have access to injecting WLAN frames. This exploitation could lead to kernel crashes and potentially allow them t...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac80211-hwsim: fixed the handling of late hrtimer events. Thomas explained in https://loreKernel.org/r/87mtoeb4hb.ffs@tglx that our current handling of hrtimer is incorrect. If the timer fires late—for example, due to vCPU...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211hwsim: Fixed possible NULL dereferencing. In the call to mac80211hwsimselecttxlink, the sta pointer might be NULL. Therefore, it is necessary to check that it is not NULL before accessing it...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac80211: The issue in ieee80211scanrx involves checking the skb length. This code requires hard-coded compile-time constants for determining the header length check. Instead, a dynamic determination based on the frame type shoul...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10, Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Wifi: mac80211: Fixed a use-after-free in the chanctx code. In ieee80211vifusereservedcontext, when there’s an old context and the replacestate of the new context is set to IEEE80211CHANCTXREPLACENONE, the old context is freed in...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Wifi: mac80211: mlme: Fixed the issue where a null pointer dereference occurred when association with an AP without a link 0 failed. If the association with an AP without a link 0 fails, we may crash during tracing. This occurs...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: fortify the spinlock against deadlock by interrupt In the function ieee80211txdequeue, there is a specific locking sequence: begin: spinlock&local-queuestopreasonlock; qstopped = local-queuestopreasonsq;...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: Wifi: mac80211: Fixed an underflow in staticbranchdec for aqldisable. syzbot reported an underflow in staticbranchdec in aqlenablewrite. 0 The issue arises because aqlenablewrite does not serialize concurrent write operations ...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: Check whether a station exists first in the client probe. When probing a client, first check whether a station exists, and then check the channel context. Otherwise, a warning can easily be triggered by probing wh...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Driver Core: Fixed a resource leak in deviceadd. When kobjectadd fails in deviceadd, it will call cleanupgluedir to free resources. However, in kobjectadd, dev-kobj.parent has been set to NULL. This will cause a resource leak. Th...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: mac80211: Fixed a deadlock issue in AP/VLAN handling. Syzbot reports that when APVLAN interfaces are active, closing the AP interface they belong to can lead to a deadlock. This isn’t surprising—since we use devclose to handle...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac80211: fixed a use-after-free in CCMP/GCMP RX. When PN checking is performed in mac80211, for fragmentation purposes, we need to copy the PN into the RX struct so that it can be used later for comparison. This is reflected in...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Wifi: mac80211 – Reject VHT operation mode for unsupported channel widths Notifications related to VHT operation mode are not defined for channel widths below 20 MHz. Specifically, 5 MHz and 10 MHz are not valid under the VHT...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac80211: Verify that the extended element ID is present. Before attempting to parse an extended element, ensure that the extended element ID is present...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Wifi: mac80211 – Fix invalid drvstaprercuRemove calls for non-uploaded stations. This issue prevents potential data corruption issues caused by uninitialized driver-related private data structures...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Wifi: mac80211 – Fix for potential “sta-link” leaks When a station is allocated, links are added but are not yet marked as valid e.g., during connection to an AP or MLD. We might remove the station without actually marking the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac80211: fixed the issue of locking in the ieee80211startap error path. We need to hold the local-mtx to release the channel context; this is even encoded in the lockdepassertheld function. Fix this issue...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux, Linux 5.10

Various refcounting bugs in the multi-BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel versions 5.1 through 5.19.x, prior to 5.19.16, could be exploited by local attackers those capable of injecting WLAN frames to trigger use-after-free conditions, potentially allowing them to execute...
