Title

wifi: ath12k: Prevent sending WMI commands to firmware during firmware crash

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Prevent sending WMI commands to firmware during firmware crash Currently, we encounter the following kernel call trace when a firmware crash occurs. This happens because the host sends WMI commands to the firmware while it is in recovery, causing the commands to fail and resulting in the kernel call trace. Set the ATH12K_FLAG_CRASH_FLUSH and ATH12K_FLAG_RECOVERY flags when the host driver receives the firmware crash notification from MHI. This prevents sending WMI commands to the firmware during recovery. Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x75/0xc0 register_lock_class+0x6be/0x7a0 ? __lock_acquire+0x644/0x19a0 __lock_acquire+0x95/0x19a0 lock_acquire+0x265/0x310 ? ath12k_ce_send+0xa2/0x210 [ath12k] ? find_held_lock+0x34/0xa0 ? ath12k_ce_send+0x56/0x210 [ath12k] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x33/0x70 ? ath12k_ce_send+0xa2/0x210 [ath12k] ath12k_ce_send+0xa2/0x210 [ath12k] ath12k_htc_send+0x178/0x390 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_cmd_send_nowait+0x76/0xa0 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_cmd_send+0x62/0x190 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_pdev_bss_chan_info_request+0x62/0xc0 [ath1 ath12k_mac_op_get_survey+0x2be/0x310 [ath12k] ieee80211_dump_survey+0x99/0x240 [mac80211] nl80211_dump_survey+0xe7/0x470 [cfg80211] ? kmalloc_reserve+0x59/0xf0 genl_dumpit+0x24/0x70 netlink_dump+0x177/0x360 __netlink_dump_start+0x206/0x280 genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit.isra.22+0x8a/0xe0 ? genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse.isra.23+0xe0/0xe0 ? genl_op_lock.part.12+0x10/0x10 ? genl_dumpit+0x70/0x70 genl_rcv_msg+0x1d0/0x290 ? nl80211_del_station+0x330/0x330 [cfg80211] ? genl_get_cmd_both+0x50/0x50 netlink_rcv_skb+0x4f/0x100 genl_rcv+0x1f/0x30 netlink_unicast+0x1b6/0x260 netlink_sendmsg+0x31a/0x450 __sock_sendmsg+0xa8/0xb0 ____sys_sendmsg+0x1e4/0x260 ___sys_sendmsg+0x89/0xe0 ? local_clock_noinstr+0xb/0xc0 ? rcu_is_watching+0xd/0x40 ? kfree+0x1de/0x370 ? __sys_sendmsg+0x7a/0xc0 Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00199-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

The racing WMI traffic is generated automatically by hostapd/wpa_supplicant survey and station-stats polling, so no local access is needed.\nAC:L - The commit states the call trace occurs whenever a firmware crash happens, so the unguarded window is entered deterministically, and the window is wide (it spans ath12k_coredump_collect() plus the whole reset/power-down/QMI cycle). The attacker can repeat the crash and, if local, can also drive the netlink survey-dump side of the race in a tight loop, controlling both sides.\nPR:N - An adjacent attacker needs no credentials on the target to crash the firmware, and the concurrent WMI command path is driven by the system\u0027s own daemons polling nl80211 survey/station statistics. Even in the purely local framing, NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY carries no GENL_ADMIN_PERM flag, so any unprivileged user can reach ath12k_mac_op_get_survey().\nUI:N - No victim action is required; hostapd/NetworkManager poll survey and station statistics on a timer, and the firmware-crash recovery path runs automatically from workqueue context.\nS:U - The corruption and the crash are confined to the kernel\u0027s own memory and the ath12k device state, with no crossing into a different security authority such as a hypervisor or IOMMU boundary.\nC:H - ath12k_hal_srng_access_begin() reads through srng-\u003eu.src_ring.tp_addr, which points into the DMA-coherent buffer already released by ath12k_hal_free_cont_rdp(); this use-after-free read of recycled memory, together with the torn-down srng/HAL state, is treated as a high confidentiality impact.\nI:H - ath12k_hal_srng_access_end() writes through srng-\u003eu.src_ring.hp_addr into the freed hal-\u003ewrp coherent buffer, and ath12k_ce_send() writes descriptors and pipe-\u003esrc_ring-\u003eskb[] entries against srng state being concurrently memset by ath12k_hal_srng_init(), giving a use-after-free write into memory that can be reallocated to another consumer.\nA:H - Once ath12k_hal_srng_init() zeroes ab-\u003ehal, tp_addr/ring_base_vaddr become NULL and the dereference in ath12k_hal_srng_access_begin() oopses; the reported lockdep \"non-static key\" splat also disables the locking validator, and the WMI waits stall the Wi-Fi interface during recovery."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
