Meanwhile, sdata->work is blocked by wdev->mtx in ieee80211_sta_work, as a result wmi_mgmt_tx_work has no chance to run. Change to use ab->workqueue instead of local->workqueue to fix this issue. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49123 to this issue. Affected and fixed versions =========================== Fixed in 5.17.3 with commit 33e723dc054edfc94da90eecca3b72cb424ce4a3 Fixed in 5.18 with commit 261b07519518bd14cb168b287b17e1d195f8d0c8 Please see https://www.kernel.org for a full list of currently supported kernel versions by the kernel community. Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2022-49123 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33e723dc054edfc94da90eecca3b72cb424ce4a3 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/261b07519518bd14cb168b287b17e1d195f8d0c8
