CVE: CVE-2024-57948
Published: 2025-01-31
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mac802154: check local interfaces before deleting sdata list

syzkaller reported a corrupted list in ieee802154_if_remove. [1]

Remove an IEEE 802.15.4 network interface after unregister an IEEE 802.15.4
hardware device from the system.

CPU0					CPU1
====					====
genl_family_rcv_msg_doit		ieee802154_unregister_hw
ieee802154_del_iface			ieee802154_remove_interfaces
rdev_del_virtual_intf_deprecated	list_del(&sdata->list)
ieee802154_if_remove
list_del_rcu

The net device has been unregistered, since the rcu grace period,
unregistration must be run before ieee802154_if_remove.

To avoid this issue, add a check for local->interfaces before deleting
sdata list.
