Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 13:40:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924174054.88252-1-artem@trailofbits.com> (raw)

[ Upstream commit 634fcbcaa4062db39aeb5ac6ed1bc1feb8dd5216 ]
Fix possible crash and memory leak on driver unload by deleting
TX purge timer and freeing C2H queue in 'rtw_core_deinit()',

[ Backport to 6.1.y: the source change is unchanged; only hunk locations
in rtw_core_deinit() differ. The target-only Fixes trailer names the
initial rtw88 driver commit, which introduced this lifetime. ]

Hi Greg, Sasha, and rtw88 maintainers,
I am continuing with CVE backports still missing from 6.1.y.
This fix is inherited by v6.6 and every later mainline release, but 6.1.y
still has the affected code. The target-specific adjustment is described
in the bracketed note above.
Could you please queue it for 6.1.y?
Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
CVE: CVE-2023-53574
Build: This patch was included in the x86_64 allmodconfig and
CONFIG_WERROR=y build.
It produced vmlinux and modules with no new warnings or errors.
AI assistance: An LLM helped find, adapt, and validate this
backport; I reviewed the patch and test output.
