Subject: [PATCH] wifi: iwlwifi: fix potential use after free in iwl_mld_remove_link()
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 14:20:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aNKCcKlbSkkS4_gO@stanley.mountain> (raw)
This code frees "link" by calling kfree_rcu(link, rcu_head) and then it
dereferences "link" to get the "link->fw_id". Save the "link->fw_id"
first to avoid a potential use after free.
Fixes: d1e879ec600f ("wifi: iwlwifi: add iwlmld sub-driver")
