{"id":"CVE-2025-21744","summary":"wifi: brcmfmac: fix NULL pointer dereference in brcmf_txfinalize()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: brcmfmac: fix NULL pointer dereference in brcmf_txfinalize()\n\nOn removal of the device or unloading of the kernel module a potential NULL\npointer dereference occurs.\n\nThe following sequence deletes the interface:\n\n  brcmf_detach()\n    brcmf_remove_interface()\n      brcmf_del_if()\n\nInside the brcmf_del_if() function the drvr-\u003eif2bss[ifidx] is updated to\nBRCMF_BSSIDX_INVALID (-1) if the bsscfgidx matches.\n\nAfter brcmf_remove_interface() call the brcmf_proto_detach() function is\ncalled providing the following sequence:\n\n  brcmf_detach()\n    brcmf_proto_detach()\n      brcmf_proto_msgbuf_detach()\n        brcmf_flowring_detach()\n          brcmf_msgbuf_delete_flowring()\n            brcmf_msgbuf_remove_flowring()\n              brcmf_flowring_delete()\n                brcmf_get_ifp()\n                brcmf_txfinalize()\n\nSince brcmf_get_ip() can and actually will return NULL in this case the\ncall to brcmf_txfinalize() will result in a NULL pointer dereference inside\nbrcmf_txfinalize() when trying to update ifp-\u003endev-\u003estats.tx_errors.\n\nThis will only happen if a flowring still has an skb.\n\nAlthough the NULL pointer dereference has only been seen when trying to\nupdate the tx statistic, all other uses of the ifp pointer have been\nguarded as well with an early return if ifp is NULL.","modified":"2026-05-18T05:59:12.968609141Z","published":"2025-02-27T02:12:17.259Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2025:01919-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1177-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1178-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1180-1","SUSE-SU-2025:1293-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20190-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20192-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20260-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20270-1","USN-7521-2"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/21xxx/CVE-2025-21744.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-265688.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2326e19190e176fd72bb542b837a9d2b7fcb8693"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3877fc67bd3d5566cc12763bce39710ceb74a97d"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e51d6d093e763348916e69d06d87e0a5593661b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59ff4fa653ff6db07c61152516ffba79c2a74bda"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61541d9b5a23df33934fcc620a3a81f246b1b240"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68abd0c4ebf24cd499841a488b97a6873d5efabb"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2beefc4fa49ebc22e664dc6b39dbd054f8488f9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fbbfef2a5b858eab55741a58b2ac9a0cc8d53c58"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/03/msg00028.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/05/msg00030.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/21xxx/CVE-2025-21744.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21744"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"7f00ee2bbc630900ba16fc2690473f3e2db0e264"},{"fixed":"2326e19190e176fd72bb542b837a9d2b7fcb8693"},{"fixed":"59ff4fa653ff6db07c61152516ffba79c2a74bda"},{"fixed":"61541d9b5a23df33934fcc620a3a81f246b1b240"},{"fixed":"4e51d6d093e763348916e69d06d87e0a5593661b"},{"fixed":"3877fc67bd3d5566cc12763bce39710ceb74a97d"},{"fixed":"fbbfef2a5b858eab55741a58b2ac9a0cc8d53c58"},{"fixed":"a2beefc4fa49ebc22e664dc6b39dbd054f8488f9"},{"fixed":"68abd0c4ebf24cd499841a488b97a6873d5efabb"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6faa698c35a43b9e74ea24e90fe37471d08d00d0"},{"last_affected":"9119232cc92a269d7860b4aa51f07d3923a3cc10"}]}],"versions":["v4.8","v4.8.3","v4.7.9","v4.8.2","v4.7.8","v4.8.1","v4.7.7","v4.7.6","v4.8-rc8","v4.8-rc2","v4.8-rc1","v4.8-rc7","v4.7.5","v4.8-rc6","v4.8-rc5","v4.7.4","v4.8-rc4","v4.7.3","v4.8-rc3","v4.7","v4.7.2","v4.7.1","v4.7-rc4","v4.7-rc2","v4.7-rc1","v4.7-rc7","v4.7-rc6","v4.7-rc3","v4.7-rc5","v4.6","v4.6-rc1","v4.6-rc6","v4.6-rc4","v4.6-rc7","v4.6-rc5","v4.5-rc4","v4.6-rc2","v4.6-rc3","v4.5","v4.4","v4.5-rc1","v4.5-rc6","v4.5-rc2","v4.5-rc7","v4.5-rc5","v4.5-rc3","v4.4-rc1","v4.4-rc2","v4.4-rc8","v4.4-rc3","v4.4-rc7","v4.4-rc5","v4.4-rc6","v4.4-rc4","v4.3","v4.3-rc1","v4.3-rc6","v4.3-rc4","v4.3-rc2","v4.3-rc7","v4.3-rc5","v4.3-rc3","v4.2","v4.2-rc2","v4.2-rc1","v4.2-rc8","v4.2-rc4","v4.2-rc6","v4.2-rc7","v4.0-rc5","v4.2-rc5","v4.2-rc3","v4.1-rc2","v4.1","v4.1-rc1","v4.1-rc8","v4.1-rc7","v4.1-rc6","v4.1-rc3","v4.1-rc4","v4.0","v4.1-rc5","v4.0-rc1","v4.0-rc2","v4.0-rc7","v4.0-rc3","v4.0-rc6","v4.0-rc4","v3.19","v3.19-rc7","v3.19-rc5","v3.19-rc1","v3.19-rc6","v3.19-rc4","v3.18-rc1","v3.19-rc3","v3.19-rc2","v3.18","v3.18-rc7","v3.18-rc6","v3.18-rc2","v3.18-rc3","v3.18-rc4","v3.18-rc5","v3.17","v3.17-rc1","v3.17-rc7","v3.17-rc2","v3.17-rc4","v3.16","v3.17-rc5","v3.17-rc6","v3.17-rc3","v3.16-rc7","v3.16-rc1","v3.16-rc3","v3.16-rc5","v3.16-rc6","v3.16-rc2","v3.16-rc4","v3.13","v3.15","v3.15-rc5","v3.15-rc8","v3.15-rc1","v3.15-rc6","v3.15-rc3","v3.15-rc7","v3.15-rc2","v3.15-rc4","v3.14","v3.14-rc4","v3.14-rc8","v3.14-rc7","v3.14-rc6","v3.14-rc1","v3.14-rc2","v3.14-rc5","v3.14-rc3","v3.13-rc6","v3.13-rc8","v3.12","v3.13-rc7","v3.13-rc1","v3.13-rc4","v3.13-rc3","v3.13-rc5","v3.13-rc2","v3.12-rc7","v3.12-rc3","v3.12-rc6","v3.12-rc1","v3.12-rc5","v3.11","v3.12-rc2","v3.12-rc4","v3.11-rc7","v3.11-rc2","v3.11-rc5","v3.11-rc1","v3.11-rc3","v3.11-rc4","v3.11-rc6","v3.10-rc2","v3.10","v3.10-rc7","v3.10-rc6","v3.10-rc1","v3.10-rc5","v3.10-rc3","v3.10-rc4","v3.9","v3.9-rc2","v3.9-rc7","v3.9-rc8","v3.9-rc3","v3.9-rc6","v3.9-rc5","v3.9-rc4","v3.9-rc1","v3.8","v3.8-rc7","v3.8-rc6","v3.8-rc5","v3.8-rc2","v3.8-rc1","v3.8-rc3","v3.8-rc4","v3.7","v3.7-rc1","v3.6","v3.7-rc6","v3.7-rc7","v3.7-rc3","v3.7-rc8","v3.7-rc2","v3.7-rc4","v3.7-rc5","v3.6-rc7","v3.6-rc1","v3.5-rc3","v3.6-rc6","v3.6-rc5","v3.5","v3.6-rc3","v3.6-rc4","v3.6-rc2","v3.4-rc4","v3.5-rc7","v3.5-rc5","v3.5-rc6","v3.5-rc2","v3.5-rc1","v3.5-rc4","v3.4","v3.4-rc2","
