{"id":"CVE-2026-74367","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-74367","summary":"wifi: ath12k: fix inconsistent arvif state in vdev_create error paths","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath12k: fix inconsistent arvif state in vdev_create error paths\n\nath12k_mac_vdev_create() has three error path issues that leave arvif\nin an inconsistent state:\n\n1. When ath12k_wmi_vdev_create() fails, the function returns directly\n   without clearing arvif->ar, which was already set before the WMI\n   call. Subsequent code checking arvif->ar to determine vdev readiness\n   will see a non-NULL value despite no vdev existing in firmware.\n\n2. When ath12k_wmi_send_peer_delete_cmd() fails in err_peer_del, the\n   code jumped to err: skipping the DP peer cleanup and vdev rollback,\n   leaving num_created_vdevs, vdev maps and arvif list membership live.\n\n3. When ath12k_wait_for_peer_delete_done() fails, the code jumped to\n   err_vdev_del: skipping the DP peer cleanup.\n\nFix by changing the ath12k_wmi_vdev_create() failure to goto err instead\nof returning directly, routing both err_peer_del failure paths through\nerr_dp_peer_del: for proper DP peer and vdev rollback, and consolidating\nthe arvif state cleanup at err:.\n\nTested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3","published":"2026-08-15T05:58:48.938Z","modified":"2026-08-18T03:56:47.295351843Z","cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Linux","name":"Kernel","fixedVersion":"7.1.5"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c972636efc63f0f43d725b59805dd1ae5bc4b31e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0140e094b196d92f2a4ce167ee73cbfab000290"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74367.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74367"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-18T03:56:47.295351843Z"}}
