      <title>CVE-2024-58072 — wifi: rtlwifi: remove unused check_buddy_priv</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-58072</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP - GNU/Linux subsystem&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wifi: rtlwifi: remove unused check_buddy_priv&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Commit 2461c7d60f9f (&amp;#34;rtlwifi: Update header file&amp;#34;) introduced a global
list of private data structures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Later on, commit 26634c4b1868 (&amp;#34;rtlwifi Modify existing bits to match
vendor version 2013.02.07&amp;#34;) started adding the private data to that list at
probe time and added a hook, check_buddy_priv to find the private data from
a similar device.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, that function was never used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides, though there is a lock for that list, it is never used. And when
the probe fails, the private data is never removed from the list. This
would cause a second probe to access freed memory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remove the unused hook, structures and members, which will prevent the
potential race condition on the list and its corruption during a second
probe when probe fails.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
