Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: fix use after free in ath11k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce.
Date: Tue, 05 May 2026 14:30:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505143025.234292-1-willmar@met-dubbel-l.nl> (raw)
In ath11k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce the loop uses ->is_continuation after
the dev_kfree_skb_any. This can cause a use after free kfence.
Move the use after the dev_kfree_skb_any after use of ->is_continuation
inline with the while in the while loop above this one.
