Technical description

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

wifi: ath12k: fix GCC_GCC_PCIE_HOT_RST definition for WCN7850

GCC_GCC_PCIE_HOT_RST is wrongly defined for WCN7850, causing kernel crash

on some specific platforms.

Since this register is divergent for WCN7850 and QCN9274, move it to

register table to allow different definitions. Then correct the register

address for WCN7850 to fix this issue.

Note IPQ5332 is not affected as it is not PCIe based device.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3

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.
