CVE-2024-53191 describes a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ath12k Wi-Fi driver, specifically affecting systems utilizing Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices. This flaw occurs during driver unbinding if an earlier firmware initialization error caused buffers to be prematurely released, leading to a second attempt to free the same memory. Rated 7.8 HIGH, the vulnerability has a local attack vector with low complexity, allowing an authenticated local attacker to achieve high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
