Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7915: clear wcid mask under mutex after RCU pointer clear
mt7915_remove_interface() cleared the wcid mask bit with no lock held and
before clearing the RCU wcid pointer. The mask is a non-atomic RMW shared
with the allocators, which all run under dev->mt76.mutex; on DBDC the two
wiphys share one mt76_dev, so this raced add_interface/sta_add on the
other band and could leak or double-hand-out a wcid. Clearing the bit
before the RCU pointer also let a concurrent allocation reuse the index
and publish its wcid, which the subsequent NULL assignment then wiped.
Move the clear into the existing mutex section, after the RCU pointer is
cleared.
