Description

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986

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

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986

mt7915_band_config() sets band_idx = 1 on the main phy for mt7986

with MT7975_ONE_ADIE or MT7976_ONE_ADIE.

Commit 0335c034e726 ("wifi: mt76: fix race condition related to

checking tx queue fill status") introduced a dereference of the

phys array indirectly indexed by band_idx via wcid->phy_idx in

mt76_wcid_cleanup(). This caused the following Oops on affected

mt7986 devices:

Fix by using mt76_dev_phy() which will map band_idx to the correct phy

for all hardware combinations.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

  • Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: None.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
