"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlwifi: mld: stop TX during firmware restart\n\nWhen iwlwifi firmware crashes (e.g., NMI_INTERRUPT_UNKNOWN on Intel\nBE201/Wi-Fi 7), iwl_mld_nic_error() sets mld->fw_status.in_hw_restart\nto true. However, iwl_mld_tx_from_txq() does not check this flag before\ndequeuing frames from mac80211 and pushing them to the transport layer.\n\nSince the firmware is dead, iwl_trans_tx() returns -EIO for each frame,\nwhich then gets freed immediately. Under high-throughput conditions\n(e.g., Tailscale UDP traffic or active SSH sessions), this creates a\ntight dequeue-send-fail-free loop that wastes CPU cycles and generates\nrapid skb allocation churn, leading to memory pressure from slab\nfragmentation.\n\nThe RX path already has this guard (iwl_mld_rx_mpdu checks\nin_hw_restart at rx.c:1906), and so does the TXQ allocation worker\n(iwl_mld_add_txqs_wk at tx.c:156). Add the same guard to\niwl_mld_tx_from_txq() to stop all TX during firmware restart.\n\nFrames left in mac80211's TXQs are naturally drained after restart\ncompletes, when queue reallocation triggers iwl_mld_tx_from_txq()\nvia iwl_mld_add_txq_list(), or when new upper-layer traffic invokes\nwake_tx_queue.\n\nTested on ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3405CA with Intel BE201 (Wi-Fi 7) on\nkernel 6.19.5 where the firmware crashes approximately every 10-15\nminutes under Tailscale traffic."

"value": "AV:N - The bug is reached when outbound traffic drives mac80211 TX during firmware restart; a remote attacker can sustain that by sending high-volume packets to the victim over the network, causing responses and continued TX without local access.\nAC:L - An attacker can reliably generate sustained high-throughput traffic that both stresses the iwlwifi MLD firmware and keeps TX queues active during the restart window; on affected Intel Wi-Fi 7 hardware firmware crashes occur frequently under such load.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires only the ability to send network traffic to the victim; no local account, kernel capabilities, or authentication is needed to keep the TX dequeue loop running during firmware restart.\nUI:N - No victim interaction beyond normal network connectivity is required; the attacker can trigger the condition by flooding or sustaining traffic to the target.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel/driver resource exhaustion on the affected host and does not cross a security boundary such as VM escape or sandbox breakout.\nC:N - The flaw causes skb allocate/free churn and CPU waste but does not corrupt memory, leak kernel data, or provide an out-of-bounds or use-after-free read primitive.\nI:N - Failed transmits are dropped and freed cleanly; there is no arbitrary write, code execution, or integrity compromise beyond dropped packets during the restart window.\nA:H - The missing guard creates a tight dequeue-send-fail-free loop under high throughput during firmware restart, wasting CPU and causing memory pressure from slab fragmentation that can render the system effectively unavailable."
