In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ath11k: free peer for station when disconnect from AP for QCA6390/WCN6855

Commit b4a0f54156ac ("ath11k: move peer delete after vdev stop of station for QCA6390 and WCN6855") is to fix firmware crash by changing the WMI command sequence, but actually skip all the peer delete operation, then it lead commit 58595c9874c6 ("ath11k: Fixing dangling pointer issue upon peer delete failure") not take effect, and then happened a use-after-free warning from KASAN. because the peer->sta is not set to NULL and then used later.

Change to only skip the WMIPEERDELETE_CMDID for QCA6390/WCN6855.

log of user-after-free:
