CVE-2025-38643 — wifi: cfg80211: Add missing lock in cfg80211_check_and_end_cac()

Affected: Linux

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

wifi: cfg80211: Add missing lock in cfg80211_check_and_end_cac()

Callers of wdev_chandef() must hold the wiphy mutex.

But the worker cfg80211_propagate_cac_done_wk() never takes the lock. Which triggers the warning below with the mesh_peer_connected_dfs test from hostapd and not (yet) released mac80211 code changes:
