Technical description

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

wifi: ath12k: fix htt mlo-offset event locking

The ath12k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the htt mlo-offset

event handling code calling ath12k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not

marked as a read-side critical section.

Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid

any potential use-after-free issues.

Compile tested only.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
