Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mt76 wi-fi driver. A concurrency bug causes the `mtxq` TX queue to maintain a raw pointer to a `wcid` structure (`mtxq->wcid`) that might be freed by the time it is accessed. This issue can lead to a use-after-free scenario, leading to system instability, memory corruption, and potentially arbitrary code execution.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:21:42 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mt76: fix use-after-free by removing a non-RCU wcid pointer

Fixes an issue caught by KASAN about use-after-free in mt76_txq_schedule
by protecting mtxq->wcid with rcu_lock between mt76_txq_schedule and
sta_info_[alloc, free].
