      <title>CVE-2024-53188 — wifi: ath12k: fix crash when unbinding</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-53188</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wifi: ath12k: fix crash when unbinding&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If there is an error during some initialization related to firmware,
the function ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup is called to release resources.
However this is released again when the device is unbinded (ath12k_pci),
and we get:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
at RIP: 0010:ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup.part.0+0xb6/0x500 [ath12k]
Call Trace:
ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup
ath12k_dp_free
ath12k_core_deinit
ath12k_pci_remove
...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The issue is always reproducible from a VM because the MSI addressing
initialization is failing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to fix the issue, just set to NULL the released structure in
ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup at the end.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
