From 5d20c6f932f2758078d0454729129c894fe353e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddh Raman Pant Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2022 01:33:40 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Fix UAF in ieee80211_scan_rx() commit 60deb9f10eec5c6a20252ed36238b55d8b614a2c upstream. ieee80211_scan_rx() tries to access scan_req->flags after a null check, but a UAF is observed when the scan is completed and __ieee80211_scan_completed() executes, which then calls cfg80211_scan_done() leading to the freeing of scan_req. Since scan_req is rcu_dereference()'d, prevent the racing in __ieee80211_scan_completed() by ensuring that from mac80211's POV it is no longer accessed from an RCU read critical section before we call cfg80211_scan_done().
