Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath10k: fix dma_free_coherent() pointer dma_alloc_coherent() allocates a DMA mapped buffer and stores the addresses in XXX_unaligned fields. Those should be reused when freeing the buffer rather than the aligned addresses.

Analysis

The ath10k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel incorrectly frees DMA-allocated memory by using aligned addresses instead of the original unaligned pointers, potentially causing memory corruption and system denial of service on affected systems. A local attacker with appropriate privileges can trigger this vulnerability to crash the kernel or cause system instability. …
