Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: cfg80211: init wiphy_work before allocating rfkill fails<br />
<br />
syzbort reported a uninitialize wiphy_work_lock in cfg80211_dev_free. [1]<br />
<br />
After rfkill allocation fails, the wiphy release process will be performed,<br />
which will cause cfg80211_dev_free to access the uninitialized wiphy_work<br />
related data.<br />
<br />
Move the initialization of wiphy_work to before rfkill initialization to<br />
avoid this issue.<br />
<br />
[1]<br />
INFO: trying to register non-static key.<br />
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe<br />
you didn&#39;t initialize this object before use?<br />
turning off the locking correctness validator.<br />
