CVE-2024-58072

Kernel-state corruption via rtlwifi probe use-after-free

Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2026

Use-after-free in the rtlwifi probe path in Linux allows local users to corrupt kernel state after a failed device probe. The driver leaves private data on an unlocked global list when probing fails, so a later probe dereferences storage that has already been freed. The path requires local access and a failed rtlwifi probe; a second probe can corrupt the driver's global list and associated kernel state.
