"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nath10k: skip ath10k_halt during suspend for driver state RESTARTING\n\nDouble free crash is observed when FW recovery(caused by wmi\ntimeout/crash) is followed by immediate suspend event. The FW recovery\nis triggered by ath10k_core_restart() which calls driver clean up via\nath10k_halt(). When the suspend event occurs between the FW recovery,\nthe restart worker thread is put into frozen state until suspend completes.\nThe suspend event triggers ath10k_stop() which again triggers ath10k_halt()\nThe double invocation of ath10k_halt() causes ath10k_htt_rx_free() to be\ncalled twice(Note: ath10k_htt_rx_alloc was not called by restart worker\nthread because of its frozen state), causing the crash.\n\nTo fix this, during the suspend flow, skip call to ath10k_halt() in\nath10k_stop() when the current driver state is ATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING.\nAlso, for driver state ATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING, call\nath10k_wait_for_suspend() in ath10k_stop(). This is because call to\nath10k_wait_for_suspend() is skipped later in\n[ath10k_halt() > ath10k_core_stop()] for the driver state\nATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING.\n\nThe frozen restart worker thread will be cancelled during resume when the\ndevice comes out of suspend.\n\nBelow is the crash stack for reference:\n\n[ 428.469167] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n[ 428.469180] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:4150!\n[ 428.469193] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\n[ 428.469219] Workqueue: events_unbound async_run_entry_fn\n[ 428.469230] RIP: 0010:kfree+0x319/0x31b\n[ 428.469241] RSP: 0018:ffffa1fac015fc30 EFLAGS: 00010246\n[ 428.469247] RAX: ffffedb10419d108 RBX: ffff8c05262b0000\n[ 428.469252] RDX: ffff8c04a8c07000 RSI: 0000000000000000\n[ 428.469256] RBP: ffffa1fac015fc78 R08: 0000000000000000\n[ 428.469276] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[ 428.469285] Call Trace:\n[ 428.469295] ? dma_free_attrs+0x5f/0x7d\n[ 428.469320] ath10k_core_stop+0x5b/0x6f\n[ 428.469336] ath10k_halt+0x126/0x177\n[ 428.469352] ath10k_stop+0x41/0x7e\n[ 428.469387] drv_stop+0x88/0x10e\n[ 428.469410] __ieee80211_suspend+0x297/0x411\n[ 428.469441] rdev_suspend+0x6e/0xd0\n[ 428.469462] wiphy_suspend+0xb1/0x105\n[ 428.469483] ? name_show+0x2d/0x2d\n[ 428.469490] dpm_run_callback+0x8c/0x126\n[ 428.469511] ? name_show+0x2d/0x2d\n[ 428.469517] __device_suspend+0x2e7/0x41b\n[ 428.469523] async_suspend+0x1f/0x93\n[ 428.469529] async_run_entry_fn+0x3d/0xd1\n[ 428.469535] process_one_work+0x1b1/0x329\n[ 428.469541] worker_thread+0x213/0x372\n[ 428.469547] kthread+0x150/0x15f\n[ 428.469552] ? pr_cont_work+0x58/0x58\n[ 428.469558] ? kthread_blkcg+0x31/0x31\n\nTested-on: QCA6174 hw3.2 PCI WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00288-QCARMSWPZ-1"

"value": "AV:A - The double-free is in the ath10k WiFi driver and is reached when firmware recovery (WMI timeout/FW crash) is interrupted by suspend; an attacker in 802.11 radio range can drive that recovery by injecting frames that fault QCA6174 firmware, matching Adjacent WiFi reachability rather than routable Network.\nAC:L - An in-range attacker can repeatedly induce firmware faults to enter ATH10K_STATE_RESTARTING after ath10k_halt() has already freed HTT RX resources, and on Chromebook/Android/laptop targets autosuspend routinely lands in that multi-second recovery window, so exploitation does not depend on a one-shot condition beyond attacker influence.\nPR:N - Malformed or stress 802.11 frames that crash/wedge firmware require no association, credentials, or local account on the victim; recovery and the subsequent suspend stop path run entirely in driver/PM context with no capability gate for the attacker.\nUI:N - Once the ath10k interface is operating, the attacker unilaterally triggers firmware recovery, and the suspend that hits ath10k_stop() is routine automatic behavior (idle suspend, Android autosleep, Chromebook sleep) rather than an attacker-solicited victim action.\nS:U - The double-free corrupts host-kernel slab/DMA allocations inside the same OS security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other distinct trust boundary.\nC:H - This is a heap double-free of HTT RX ring state (dma_free_coherent/kfree via ath10k_htt_rx_free from a second ath10k_halt), which per kernel UAF/double-free guidance enables reclaim of the freed object and arbitrary kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same double-free corrupts the allocator freelist and is exploitable heap corruption that enables heap spray, arbitrary write, and control-flow hijack primitives beyond a pure crash.\nA:H - The bug demonstrably triggers kernel BUG at mm/slub.c (double-free in kfree during suspend), which is a full kernel oops/panic availability impact."
