Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: 8852a: rfk: fix div 0 exception The DPK is a kind of RF calibration whose algorithm is to fine tune parameters and calibrate, and check the result. If the result isn't good enough, it could adjust parameters and try again. This issue is to read and show the result, but it could be a negative calibration result that causes divisor 0 and core dump. So, fix it by phy_div() that does division only if divisor isn't zero; otherwise, zero is adopted. divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 1 PID: 728 Comm: wpa_supplicant Not tainted 5.10.114-16019-g462a1661811a #1 <HASH:d024 28> RIP: 0010:rtw8852a_dpk+0x14ae/0x288f [rtw89_core] RSP: 0018:ffffa9bb412a7520 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000000180fc RDI: ffffa141d01023c0 RBP: ffffa9bb412a76a0 R08: 0000000000001319 R09: 00000000ffffff92 R10: ffffffffc0292de3 R11: ffffffffc00d2f51 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffffa141d01023c0 R14: ffffffffc0290250 R15: ffffa141d0102638 FS: 00007fa99f5c2740(0000) GS:ffffa142e5e80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000013e8e010 CR3: 0000000110d2c000 CR4: 0000000000750ee0 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: rtw89_core_sta_add+0x95/0x9c [rtw89_core <HASH:d239 29>] rtw89_ops_sta_state+0x5d/0x108 [rtw89_core <HASH:d239 29>] drv_sta_state+0x115/0x66f [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] sta_info_insert_rcu+0x45c/0x713 [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] sta_info_insert+0xf/0x1b [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] ieee80211_prep_connection+0x9d6/0xb0c [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] ieee80211_mgd_auth+0x2aa/0x352 [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] cfg80211_mlme_auth+0x160/0x1f6 [cfg80211 <HASH:00cd 31>] nl80211_authenticate+0x2e5/0x306 [cfg80211 <HASH:00cd 31>] genl_rcv_msg+0x371/0x3a1 ? nl80211_stop_sched_scan+0xe5/0xe5 [cfg80211 <HASH:00cd 31>] ? genl_rcv+0x36/0x36 netlink_rcv_skb+0x8a/0xf9 genl_rcv+0x28/0x36 netlink_unicast+0x27b/0x3a0 netlink_sendmsg+0x2aa/0x469 sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x49/0x4d ____sys_sendmsg+0xe5/0x213 __sys_sendmsg+0xec/0x157 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0xd7/0x116 do_syscall_64+0x43/0x55 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7fa99f6e689b

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: tmc-etr: Fix race condition between sysfs and perf mode When trying to run perf and sysfs mode simultaneously, the WARN_ON() in tmc_etr_enable_hw() is triggered sometimes: WARNING: CPU: 42 PID: 3911571 at drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:1060 tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] [..snip..] Call trace: tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] (P) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] (L) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] coresight_enable_path+0x1c8/0x218 [coresight] coresight_enable_sysfs+0xa4/0x228 [coresight] enable_source_store+0x58/0xa8 [coresight] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x40 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x68 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x120/0x1b8 vfs_write+0x2c8/0x388 ksys_write+0x74/0x108 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x64/0x148 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x3c/0x130 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc8/0xd0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions, one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode. mode: [sysfs mode] [perf mode] tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer() spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) [sysfs buffer allocation] spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() drvdata->etr_buf = etr_perf->etr_buf spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at the perf side spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf. This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode.CVE-2026-46272
