      <title>CVE-2026-80947 — wifi: rtl8xxxu: fix use-after-free from rx_urb_wq on stop</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2026-80947</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: rtl8xxxu: fix use-after-free from rx_urb_wq on stop&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rtl8xxxu arms rx_urb_wq from the RX completion path:
rtl8xxxu_rx_complete() hands the URB to rtl8xxxu_queue_rx_urb(), which
queues it on rx_urb_pending_list and, once the list grows past
RTL8XXXU_RX_URB_PENDING_WATER, schedules rx_urb_wq.  The worker
rtl8xxxu_rx_urb_work() drains rx_urb_pending_list, recovers priv through
container_of, and resubmits each URB through rtl8xxxu_submit_rx_urb(),
which anchors it on rx_anchor and dereferences priv-&amp;gt;udev.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;rtl8xxxu_stop() cancels the sibling work items (c2hcmd_work, ra_watchdog,
update_beacon_work) but never cancels rx_urb_wq, so a worker armed during
the last burst of RX traffic can run rtl8xxxu_rx_urb_work() after
rtl8xxxu_disconnect() has called ieee80211_free_hw(), which frees priv,
producing a use-after-free.  The window opens under active RX traffic
(pending count above the watermark) followed by a disconnect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are two teardown races to close:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* rtl8xxxu_queue_rx_urb() decided whether to enqueue under rx_urb_lock
    but called schedule_work() after dropping the lock.  A completion
    that observed shutdown == false and released the lock could then call
    schedule_work() after rtl8xxxu_stop() had set shutdown and
    cancel_work_sync() had already returned, arming the worker to run
    after the teardown.  Move schedule_work() under the same !shutdown
    branch so the arming decision is…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
