kernel: mt76: fix use-after-free by removing a non-RCU wcid pointer

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mt76 wi-fi driver. A concurrency bug causes the mtxq TX queue to maintain a raw pointer to a wcid structure mtxq-wcid that might be freed by the time it is accessed. This issue can lead to a use-after-free scenario, leading to system instability,...

CVE-2022-50177

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcutorture: Fix ksoftirqd boosting timing and iteration The RCU priority boosting can fail in two situations: 1 If nrcpus= maxcpus=, which means if the total number of CPUs is higher than those brought online at boot, then...
