Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: Fix error code in iwl_op_mode_dvm_start() Preserve the error code if iwl_setup_deferred_work() fails. The current code returns ERR_PTR(0) (which is NULL) on this path. I believe the missing error code potentially leads to a use after free involving debugfs.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.4.297 < 5.5) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.10.241 < 5.11) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.15.190 < 5.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.1.148 < 6.2) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.6.102 < 6.7) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.12.42 < 6.13)
