Description

wifi: rtlwifi: fix memory leaks and invalid access at probe error path

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

wifi: rtlwifi: fix memory leaks and invalid access at probe error path

Deinitialize at reverse order when probe fails.

When init_sw_vars fails, rtl_deinit_core should not be called, specially

now that it destroys the rtl_wq workqueue.

And call rtl_pci_deinit and deinit_sw_vars, otherwise, memory will be

leaked.

Remove pci_set_drvdata call as it will already be cleaned up by the core

driver code and could lead to memory leaks too. cf. commit 8d450935ae7f

("wireless: rtlwifi: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()") and

commit 3d86b93064c7 ("rtlwifi: Fix PCI probe error path orphaned memory").

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.
