Severity ?
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7915: unlink TWT flow if the MCU rejects the agreement The flow is added to dev->twt_list before sending the agreement to the firmware, but the error path leaves it linked while flowid_mask is never set. The flow slot can then be reused and memset while still on the list, corrupting twt_list, and station removal leaves a dangling entry behind that mt7915_mac_twt_sched_list_add() later walks.

The attacker induces that ADD failure (MCU timeout or mt76_dma_tx_queue_skb_raw queue-full) with their own traffic, then retries or deauths; not a victim-only race.\nPR:N - ieee80211_process_rx_twt_action only requires rx-\u003esta on an AP with twt_responder; WLAN_CATEGORY_S1G TWT frames are not robust management frames, so MFP does not gate them. No Linux account or capability is needed: associating as a client to an open or guest mt7915 AP is enough to send the TWT setup.\nUI:N - The attacker sends the TWT Setup action frame and the follow-up retry or deauth; ieee80211_iface_work \u2192 ieee80211_s1g_rx_twt_action runs with no local user step. An already-running AP with twt_responder is standing configuration, not victim interaction during the attack.\nS:U - mt7915_mac_add_twt_setup corrupts the host kernel\u2019s dev-\u003etwt_list and the mt7915_twt_flow embedded in sta-\u003edrv_priv; impact stays inside that kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or guest-to-host boundary.\nC:H - On DISASSOC, mt7915_mac_twt_teardown_flow returns immediately when flowid_mask is unset, then sta_info_free kfree\u2019s the sta while the node remains on twt_list. A later mt7915_mac_twt_sched_list_add walk reads the freed mt7915_twt_flow, a use-after-free of attacker-reallocatable sta slab.\nI:H - The retry path memset/INIT_LIST_HEAD of a still-linked flow, and list_add in mt7915_mac_twt_sched_list_add, write next/prev through corrupted or freed list nodes, yielding a kernel write primitive from list corruption and the DISASSOC use-after-free.\nA:H - mt7915_mac_twt_sched_list_add walking the corrupted or dangling twt_list oopses on a freed mt7915_twt_flow or spins forever on a self-linked node after INIT_LIST_HEAD, hanging or panicking the AP kernel."
