Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: count only matching reservations in reserved switch ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_switch() validates a replacement by counting assigned links on ctx->replace_ctx and treating reservations too broadly. A link can still be assigned to the old channel context while holding a reservation that belongs to a different replacement operation. That can make the current replacement appear complete too early. If another link finalizes first, the function can free the WILL_BE_REPLACED chanctx while the unmatched link and driver still use it, leading to a use-after-free in later beacon generation. Require an in-place reservation to point at the current replacement context, and require the reserved and assigned contexts to be the matching replacement pair, before counting or moving the link.
