CVE-2026-53097

wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix use-after-free bugs in mt7996_mac_dump_work()

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

wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix use-after-free bugs in mt7996_mac_dump_work()

When the mt7996 pci chip is detaching, the mt7996_crash_data is
released in mt7996_coredump_unregister(). However, the work item
dump_work may still be running or pending, leading to UAF bugs
when the already freed crash_data is dereferenced again in
mt7996_mac_dump_work().

The race condition can occur as follows:

CPU 0 (removal path)               | CPU 1 (workqueue)
mt7996_pci_remove()                | mt7996_sys_recovery_set()
 mt7996_unregister_device()        |  mt7996_reset()
  mt7996_coredump_unregister()     |   queue_work()
   vfree(dev->coredump.crash_data) | mt7996_mac_dump_work()
                                   |  crash_data-> // UAF

Fix this by ensuring dump_work is properly canceled before
the crash_data is deallocated. Add cancel_work_sync() in
mt7996_unregister_device() to synchronize with any pending
or executing dump work.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
