From bdf6ae776fd6536127b8765a38bfb2a96e9c7a29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya Kumar Singh quic_adisi@quicinc.com Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2024 10:56:33 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 3/4] wifi: ath12k: fix read pointer after free in ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev()
[ Upstream commit 5a10971c7645a95f5d5dc23c26fbac4bf61801d0 ]
In ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev(), if arvif is created on a different radio, it gets deleted from that radio through a call to ath12k_mac_unassign_link_vif(). This action frees the arvif pointer. Subsequently, there is a check involving arvif, which will result in a read-after-free scenario.
Fix this by moving this check after arvif is again assigned via call to ath12k_mac_assign_link_vif().
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00173-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
