CVE-2021-47194 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cfg80211: call cfg80211_stop_ap when switch from P2P_GO type

If the userspace tools switch from NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO to NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC via send_msg(NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE) it does not call the cleanup cfg80211_stop_ap() this leads to the initialization of in-use data. For example this path re-init the sdata->assigned_chanctx_list while it is still an element of assigned_vifs list and makes that linked list corrupt.
