In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: shut down RX BA session timer on teardown
Tearing down an RX BA session can leave the session timer queued on a
freed tid_rx. Later timer-wheel processing and the timer callback itself
then run against freed memory.
An RX BAR handler can dereference tid_rx under RCU before teardown
unpublishes it and stay in its read-side critical section while teardown
deletes the session timer. The stale handler can then rearm the timer
after timer_delete_sync() returns and before the RCU callback frees
tid_rx.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() so rearm attempts become ineffective once
teardown starts. Keep reorder_timer unchanged: teardown marks the session
removed under reorder_lock and its release path checks that state before
rearming. session_timer has no equivalent guard because
ieee80211_rx_h_ctrl() rearms it before taking reorder_lock.
