Red Hat: CVE-2024-57898: kernel: wifi: cfg80211: clear link ID from bitmap during link delete after clean up (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: cfg80211: clear link ID from bitmap during link delete after clean up

Currently, during link deletion, the link ID is first removed from the
valid_links bitmap before performing any clean-up operations. However, some
functions require the link ID to remain in the valid_links bitmap. One
such example is cfg80211_cac_event(). The flow is -

nl80211_remove_link()
cfg80211_remove_link()
ieee80211_del_intf_link()
ieee80211_vif_set_links()
ieee80211_vif_update_links()
ieee80211_link_stop()
cfg80211_cac_event()

cfg80211_cac_event() requires link ID to be present but it is cleared
already in cfg80211_remove_link(). Ultimately, WARN_ON() is hit.

Therefore, clear the link ID from the bitmap only after completing the link
clean-up.
