In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mwifiex: Do not return unused priv in mwifiexgetprivbyid() mwifiexgetprivbyid() returns the priv pointer corresponding to the bssnum and bsstype, but without checking if the priv is actually currently in use. Unused priv pointers do not have a wiphy attached to them which can lead to NULL pointer dereferences further down the callstack. Fix this by returning only used priv pointers which have priv->bssmode set to something else than NL80211IFTYPEUNSPECIFIED. Said NULL pointer dereference happened when an Accesspoint was started with wpasupplicant -i mlan0 with this config: network={ ssid="somessid" mode=2 frequency=2412 keymgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 proto=RSN group=CCMP pairwise=CCMP psk="12345678" } When waiting for the AP to be established, interrupting wpasupplicant with <ctrl-c> and starting it again this happens: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000140 | Mem abort info: | ESR = 0x0000000096000004 | EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits | SET = 0, FnV = 0 | EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 | FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault | Data abort info: | ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004, ISS2 = 0x00000000 | CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 | GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 | user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000046d96000 | [0000000000000140] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 | Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP | Modules linked in: caamjr caamhashdesc spidev caamalgdesc cryptoengine authenc libdes mwifiexsdio +mwifiex crct10difce cdcacm onboardusbhub fslimx8ddrperf imx8mddrc rtcds1307 lm75 rtcsnvs +imxsdma caam imx8mmthermal spiimx error imxcpufreqdt fuse iptables xtables ipv6 | CPU: 0 PID: 8 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.9.0-00007-g937242013fce-dirty #18 | Hardware name: somemachine (DT) | Workqueue: events sdioirqwork | pstate: 00000005 (nzcv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) | pc : mwifiexgetcfp+0xd8/0x15c [mwifiex] | lr : mwifiexgetcfp+0x34/0x15c [mwifiex] | sp : ffff8000818b3a70 | x29: ffff8000818b3a70 x28: ffff000006bfd8a5 x27: 0000000000000004 | x26: 000000000000002c x25: 0000000000001511 x24: 0000000002e86bc9 | x23: ffff000006bfd996 x22: 0000000000000004 x21: ffff000007bec000 | x20: 000000000000002c x19: 0000000000000000 x18: 0000000000000000 | x17: 000000040044ffff x16: 00500072b5503510 x15: ccc283740681e517 | x14: 0201000101006d15 x13: 0000000002e8ff43 x12: 002c01000000ffb1 | x11: 0100000000000000 x10: 02e8ff43002c0100 x9 : 0000ffb100100157 | x8 : ffff000003d20000 x7 : 00000000000002f1 x6 : 00000000ffffe124 | x5 : 0000000000000001 x4 : 0000000000000003 x3 : 0000000000000000 | x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0001000000011001 x0 : 0000000000000000 | Call trace: | mwifiexgetcfp+0xd8/0x15c [mwifiex] | mwifiexparsesingleresponsebuf+0x1d0/0x504 [mwifiex] | mwifiexhandleeventextscanreport+0x19c/0x2f8 [mwifiex] | mwifiexprocessstaevent+0x298/0xf0c [mwifiex] | mwifiexprocessevent+0x110/0x238 [mwifiex] | mwifiexmainprocess+0x428/0xa44 [mwifiex] | mwifiexsdiointerrupt+0x64/0x12c [mwifiexsdio] | processsdiopendingirqs+0x64/0x1b8 | sdioirqwork+0x4c/0x7c | processonework+0x148/0x2a0 | workerthread+0x2fc/0x40c | kthread+0x110/0x114 | retfrom_fork+0x10/0x20 | Code: a94153f3 a8c37bfd d50323bf d65f03c0 (f940a000) | ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
