In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cfg80211: fix race in netlink owner interface destruction
My previous fix here to fix the deadlock left a race where
the exact same deadlock (see the original commit referenced
below) can still happen if cfg80211_destroy_ifaces() already
runs while nl80211_netlink_notify() is still marking some
interfaces as nl_owner_dead.
The race happens because we have two loops here - first we
dev_close() all the netdevs, and then we destroy them. If we
also have two netdevs (first one need only be a wdev though)
then we can find one during the first iteration, close it,
and go to the second iteration – but then find two, and try
to destroy also the one we didn’t close yet.
Fix this by only iterating once.
