The loop\ncurrently checks skb_queue_empty() and then dequeues separately.\n\nThat split is racy with TX status handling, which can remove a pending\nframe under the queue lock. If the last entry is removed after the empty\ncheck, skb_dequeue() returns NULL and the stop path passes that NULL skb\nto ieee80211_free_txskb().\n\nUse skb_dequeue() as the loop condition instead. The dequeue result is the\nobject that stop owns and frees, and a concurrent status completion that\nempties the queue simply makes the loop terminate."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/virtual/mac80211_hwsim_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"bd18de517923903a177508fc8813f44e717b1c00","lessThan":"d131027054a8dd922dda01fe8d381abe5af4970b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bd18de517923903a177508fc8813f44e717b1c00","lessThan":"c40ba47f2ba1951cb32ea048667ed014d36a5749","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bd18de517923903a177508fc8813f44e717b1c00","lessThan":"2817431a61557f46dc63077b7cc126bc906c242e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bd18de517923903a177508fc8813f44e717b1c00","lessThan":"e7fccad2c8e6ef6bbafe509c95869d161d0f466b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bd18de517923903a177508fc8813f44e717b1c00","lessThan":"1c2a4ab6efa26415dd131b8c222e7893fda03435","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"bd18de517923903a177508fc8813f44e717b1c00","lessThan":"158438cd6ad69d6dd7d871582c38baf22169fede","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"78bf3c6131488b00386acd9aff1ea4e6c44fa38e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a9028333001f793b2724e8be42fce3336de2cf1c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7019c9f385b264a2d6f685028268422d55087e37","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5.4.129","lessThan":"5.5","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.47","lessThan":"5.11","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.12.14","lessThan":"5.13","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/virtual/mac80211_hwsim_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.13","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.188","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.157","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.52","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.188"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.157"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.52"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.4.129"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.10.47"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.12.14"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d131027054a8dd922dda01fe8d381abe5af4970b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c40ba47f2ba1951cb32ea048667ed014d36a5749"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2817431a61557f46dc63077b7cc126bc906c242e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e7fccad2c8e6ef6bbafe509c95869d161d0f466b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c2a4ab6efa26415dd131b8c222e7893fda03435"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/158438cd6ad69d6dd7d871582c38baf22169fede"}],"title":"wifi: mac80211_hwsim: avoid NULL skb in stop queue drain","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
