CVE-2026-74554

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

wifi: ath12k: fix out-of-bounds clear_bit in ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup()

ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup() clears the ML peer ID slot on the

free_ml_peer_id_map bitmap by indexing it with dp_peer->peer_id. That is

wrong: dp_peer->peer_id for an MLO peer always carries the

ATH12K_PEER_ML_ID_VALID bit (BIT(13)), so clear_bit() is invoked with

index >= 0x2000, which is far outside the bitmap of ATH12K_MAX_MLO_PEERS

(256) bits and corrupts memory adjacent to ah->free_ml_peer_id_map. The

intended bitmap entry also never gets cleared, so subsequent

ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() calls eventually run out of IDs.

The ID without the VALID bit is what ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() returned and

is stored in ahsta->ml_peer_id. Use that instead.

While there, also reset ahsta->ml_peer_id to ATH12K_MLO_PEER_ID_INVALID so

the bitmap and ahsta->ml_peer_id stay in sync.
