Official Description

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

wifi: rsi: fix kthread lifetime race between self-exit and external-stop

RSI driver use both self-exit(kthread_complete_and_exit) and external-stop

(kthread_stop) when killing a kthread. Generally, kthread_stop() is called

first, and in this case, no particular issues occur.

However, in rare instances where kthread_complete_and_exit() is called

first and then kthread_stop() is called, a UAF occurs because the kthread

object, which has already exited and been freed, is accessed again.

Therefore, to prevent this with minimal modification, you must remove

kthread_stop() and change the code to wait until the self-exit operation

is completed.
