In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ath12k: Handle lock during peer_id find

ath12k_peer_find_by_id() requires that the caller hold the ab->base_lock. Currently the WBM error path does not hold the lock and calling that function, leads to the following lockdep_assert()in QCN9274:
