CVE-2026-99061: wifi: brcmfmac: fix P2P device removal race in brcmf_detach()

Q: Who is exposed to this race condition?

Systems using the Linux brcmfmac Wi-Fi driver and a P2P device interface are exposed when the driver is removed while the userspace process that created the P2P device, such as wpa_supplicant, is still exiting.

Q: What event triggers the kernel crash?

The crash requires a timing race between userspace deleting the P2P interface through NL80211_CMD_DEL_INTERFACE and brcmf_detach() removing the same interface after the bus is brought down. This can cause the P2P device interface and its wireless device structure to be unregistered and freed twice.

Q: How could an administrator recognize that this issue has occurred?

Affected systems can crash during P2P device teardown or driver removal. Kernel logs may show brcmfmac P2P deletion messages followed by a fault involving a second list_del_rcu() on wdev->list and LIST_POISON2.

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

wifi: brcmfmac: fix P2P device removal race in brcmfdetach()

When the driver is removed while the user space process that created the P2P device (e.g. wpasupplicant) is still exiting, the P2P device interface is removed twice and the kernel crashes.

The two paths are:

- wpasupplicant, on exit, sends NL80211CMDDELINTERFACE for the P2P device. nl80211delinterface() holds RTNL and the wiphy mutex and calls brcmfp2pdelvif(), which disables discovery and waits up to 1.5 s for BRCMFEIFDEL. Then it calls brcmfremoveinterface(), which unregisters the wdev and frees the vif and the ifp.

- brcmfdetach() sets the bus down, so BRCMFEIFDEL never arrives, and calls brcmfremoveinterface(ifp, false) for the same ifp. brcmfp2pifpremoved() reads ifp->vif and then blocks on rtnllock(). When brcmfp2pdelvif() releases RTNL, it calls cfg80211unregisterwdev() on the wdev that was already unregistered and freed.

The second listdelrcu() of wdev->list faults on LISTPOISON2:

The log was taken with debug=0x406 on an i.MX 8M Plus board with a CYW55513 (Sona IF513) on SDIO. The driver is the Ezurio backport of brcmfmac from v6.18.22 on a 5.4-rt kernel. The code involved is the same in mainline.

To reproduce:

1. Start wpasupplicant on wlan0 and let it associate. It creates the P2P device (iw dev shows "type P2P-device"). 2. Stop wpasupplicant and remove the driver without waiting for wpasupplicant to exit:

kill $(pidof wpasupplicant) rmmod brcmfmaccyw brcmfmac

The crash is reproducible on that board.

For the interface without a netdev (the P2P device), take RTNL and the wiphy mutex in brcmfdetach() before reading iflist, and remove it with locked=true. If brcmfp2pdelvif() runs first, brcmfdetach() finds the slot empty. If brcmfdetach() runs first, nl80211 does not find the wdev any more. The interfaces with a netdev are removed as before, because brcmfdelif() takes RTNL on its own for the primary interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is exposed to this race condition?

Systems using the Linux brcmfmac Wi-Fi driver and a P2P device interface are exposed when the driver is removed while the userspace process that created the P2P device, such as wpa_supplicant, is still exiting.

What event triggers the kernel crash?

The crash requires a timing race between userspace deleting the P2P interface through NL80211_CMD_DEL_INTERFACE and brcmf_detach() removing the same interface after the bus is brought down. This can cause the P2P device interface and its wireless device structure to be unregistered and freed twice.

How could an administrator recognize that this issue has occurred?

Affected systems can crash during P2P device teardown or driver removal. Kernel logs may show brcmfmac P2P deletion messages followed by a fault involving a second list_del_rcu() on wdev->list and LIST_POISON2.
