      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath12k: Pass ab pointer directly to ath12k_dp_tx_get_encap_type()\n\nIn ath12k_dp_tx_get_encap_type(), the arvif parameter is only used to\nretrieve the ab pointer. In vdev delete sequence the arvif->ar could\nbecome NULL and that would trigger kernel panic.\nSince the caller ath12k_dp_tx() already has a valid ab pointer, pass it\ndirectly to avoid panic and unnecessary dereferencing.\n\nPC points to \"ath12k_dp_tx+0x228/0x988 [ath12k]\"\nLR points to \"ath12k_dp_tx+0xc8/0x988 [ath12k]\".\nThe Backtrace obtained is as follows:\nath12k_dp_tx+0x228/0x988 [ath12k]\nath12k_mac_tx_check_max_limit+0x608/0x920 [ath12k]\nieee80211_process_measurement_req+0x320/0x348 [mac80211]\nieee80211_tx_dequeue+0x9ac/0x1518 [mac80211]\nieee80211_tx_dequeue+0xb14/0x1518 [mac80211]\nieee80211_tx_prepare_skb+0x224/0x254 [mac80211]\nieee80211_xmit+0xec/0x100 [mac80211]\n__ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0xc50/0xf40 [mac80211]\nieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x2e8/0x308 [mac80211]\nnetdev_start_xmit+0x150/0x18c\ndev_hard_start_xmit+0x74/0xc0\n\nTested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00173-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1",
