CVE-2022-49129: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mt76: mt7921: fix crash when startup fails. If the nic fails to start, it is possible that the reset_work has already been scheduled. Ensure the work item is canceled so we do not have use-after-free crash in case cleanup is called before the work item is executed. This fixes crash on my x86_64 apu2 when mt7921k radio fails to work. Radio still fails, but OS does not crash.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 4.16, before 5.15.34 (fixed in 5.15.34); from 5.16, before 5.16.20 (fixed in 5.16.20); from 5.17, before 5.17.3 (fixed in 5.17.3)
