AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to avoid the mutex deadlock in the mt7925 driver. Users should update to a kernel version that includes this fix. No additional mitigation is indicated.

Description

A potential deadlock vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mt7925 WiFi driver was resolved. The issue involved a deadlock between roc_abort_sync() and roc_work() functions due to mutex ownership conflicts during station removal. This could cause a denial of service by blocking progress in the affected code paths.
