wifi: ath11k: clear initialized flag for deinit-ed srng lists
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: clear initialized flag for deinit-ed srng lists
In a number of cases we see kernel panics on resume due
to ath11k kernel page fault, which happens under the
following circumstances:
1) First ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats() call
Last interrupt received for each group:
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 0 22511ms before
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 1 14440788ms before
[..]
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to receive control response completion, polling..
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Service connect timeout
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to connect to HTT: -110
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to start core: -110
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: firmware crashed: MHI_CB_EE_RDDM
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: already resetting count 2
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to wait wlan mode request (mode 4): -110
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: qmi failed to send wlan mode off: -110
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to reconfigure driver on crash recovery
[..]
2) At this point reconfiguration fails (we have 2 resets) and
ath11k_core_reconfigure_on_crash() calls ath11k_hal_srng_deinit()
which destroys srng lists. However, it does not reset per-list
->initialized flag.
3) Second ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats() call sees stale ->initialized
flag and attempts to dump srng stats:
Last interrupt received for each group:
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 0 66785ms before
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 1 14485062ms before
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 2 14485062ms before
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 3 14485062ms before
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 4 14780845ms before
ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 5 14780845ms before

ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: group_id 9 67588ms before

This matches the WiFi frame-injection adjacent-network vector rather than requiring local access.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the rate of induced firmware crashes, and it is exactly that flooding that produces the overlapping resets (\"already resetting count 2\") and QMI timeouts that make ath11k_core_reconfigure_on_crash() take the err_hal_srng_deinit path; the subsequent FW_INIT_DONE dump then reliably dereferences the stale pointers. No condition outside the attacker\u0027s influence is needed.\nPR:N - Inducing firmware asserts via 802.11 frames requires no account, association, or credentials on the victim system \u2014 management frames are processed pre-authentication, and an AP-mode ath11k device processes frames from unauthenticated clients.\nUI:N - No victim action is required; the device only needs to have its WiFi interface up, and the entire crash/recovery/dump sequence runs asynchronously in kernel workqueue context.\nS:U - The dangling-pointer dereference and its consequences are confined to the kernel\u0027s own security authority on the affected host; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - This is a use-after-free read: ath11k_hal_dump_srng_stats() dereferences stale tp_addr/hp_addr pointers into dma_free_coherent()\u0027d memory that may already be recycled to other kernel allocations, and prints those words into the kernel log, disclosing freed kernel memory contents.\nI:H - The driver retains a fully populated srng_list of dangling pointers into freed DMA-coherent pages that are handed back to the allocator and reused by other subsystems; per kernel UAF scoring this dangling-pointer condition on recycled memory is treated as a high integrity impact.\nA:H - The demonstrated result is an unrecoverable kernel page fault/oops (\"BUG: unable to handle page fault ...

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.
