{"cve":"CVE-2025-23129","nvd":{"published":"2025-04-16T15:16:07.373","modified":"2026-09-14T12:17:35.680","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath11k: Clear affinity hint before calling ath11k_pcic_free_irq() in error path\n\nIf a shared IRQ is used by the driver due to platform limitation, then the\nIRQ affinity hint is set right after the allocation of IRQ vectors in\nath11k_pci_alloc_msi(). This does no harm unless one of the functions\nrequesting the IRQ fails and attempt to free the IRQ. This results in the\nbelow warning:\n\nWARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 349 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1929 free_irq+0x278/0x29c\nCall trace:\n free_irq+0x278/0x29c\n ath11k_pcic_free_irq+0x70/0x10c [ath11k]\n ath11k_pci_probe+0x800/0x820 [ath11k_pci]\n local_pci_probe+0x40/0xbc\n\nThe warning is due to not clearing the affinity hint before freeing the\nIRQs.\n\nSo to fix this issue, clear the IRQ affinity hint before calling\nath11k_pcic_free_irq() in the error path. The affinity will be cleared once\nagain further down the error path due to code organization, but that does\nno harm.\n\nTested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-05266-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3fc42cfcc6e336f25dee79b34e57c4a63cd652a5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68410c5bd381a81bcc92b808e7dc4e6b9ed25d11","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7493b9baf0e54b44caae46715aaa409a84bd9f4b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/80dc5a2ce5b75d648e08549617f5c555d07ae43c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8d0519f511d93d675f61d6bfb45ffcc945af4b14"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:01:11.054312287+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-23129","score":0.00188,"percentile":0.08427,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
