Both legs are WiFi radio-range, not a routable IP protocol.\nAC:L - A radio peer can drive both sides: emit CSA so ieee80211_csa_switch_work() runs mt76_switch_vif_chanctx()/__mt76_set_channel() (unparking the non-refcounted tx_worker under dev->mt76.mutex) and induce firmware L1 SER so mt7996_mac_reset_work() parks that worker before taking the mutex. The MCU channel-switch hold and napi_disable() are a retryable millisecond window.\nPR:N - mt7996_irq_tasklet() consumes MT_MCU_CMD and queues reset_work with no capable() or 802.11 authentication gate; CSA is parsed from beacons/action frames in ieee80211_sta_process_chanswitch() without a host uid. An unauthenticated (SER) or associated (CSA) radio peer needs no Linux privilege.\nUI:N - ieee80211_csa_switch_work() applies CSA automatically once the STA is associated, and mt7996_mac_reset_work() runs from the driver workqueue after the MCU IRQ. No local user must write debugfs sys_recovery or issue nl80211 SET_CHANNEL to create the race.\nS:U - The corrupted TX DMA descriptors (mt76_dma_queue_reset of q->desc[]) and token IDR (mt7996_tx_token_put()/idr_destroy()) belong to this host's mt7996 driver; the race does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox authority.\nC:H - If __mt76_set_channel() unparks tx_worker while mt7996_mac_reset_work() still runs mt7996_dma_reset() and mt7996_tx_token_put(), the worker can idr_alloc on a destroyed token IDR and DMA-map into q->desc[] being zeroed, a UAF/descriptor confusion that discloses kernel memory.\nI:H - The same race lets the TX worker write queue head and descriptors (mt76_dma_add_buf) while mt76_dma_queue_reset() clears q->desc[] and mt7996_tx_token_put() destroys the token IDR, a write primitive against DMA-ring and heap token objects suitable for control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Concurrent mt76_dma_tx_cleanup()/mt76_dma_queue_reset() versus a live tx_worker oopses on a freed txwi/skb or wedges the WFDMA rings; the commit's descriptor/token corruption is a kernel crash, so availability is High."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mac.c"], "versions": [{"version": "27015b6fbcca836c6dbf196afc266e068af4aeec", "lessThan": "bc4f4389f439e808185778d298da36976d13d415", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27015b6fbcca836c6dbf196afc266e068af4aeec", "lessThan": "69f23622533a4f054b5c8fdb226c3319ffa017b6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27015b6fbcca836c6dbf196afc266e068af4aeec", "lessThan": "906ad486ba5c4933d82e1ebe0685656390a48450", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27015b6fbcca836c6dbf196afc266e068af4aeec", "lessThan": "594c4b7f89f9ea75dc9c50b5e4c4296db4a3d701", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "27015b6fbcca836c6dbf196afc266e068af4aeec", "lessThan": "6190db312b8230813f529f014b26247c6d9800d0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mac.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.4", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.4", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.114", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.52", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc4f4389f439e808185778d298da36976d13d415"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/69f23622533a4f054b5c8fdb226c3319ffa017b6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/906ad486ba5c4933d82e1ebe0685656390a48450"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/594c4b7f89f9ea75dc9c50b5e4c4296db4a3d701"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6190db312b8230813f529f014b26247c6d9800d0"}], "title": "wifi: mt76: mt7996: hold dev->mt76.mutex while disabling tx worker in SER", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
