Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: avoid reading out of bounds when loading TX power FW elements
Because the loop-expression will do one more time before getting false from
cond-expression, the original code copied one more entry size beyond valid
region.
Fix it by moving the entry copy to loop-body.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wifi: rtw89 component. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when loading TX power firmware elements. This flaw, caused by a loop reading beyond a valid memory region, may lead to information disclosure or denial of service.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To prevent the rtw89 kernel module from loading, create a blacklist entry. This action will disable the functionality of Realtek 802.11ac wireless devices.
- Create or edit
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtw89.conf:
- Reboot the system for the changes to take effect:
This mitigation will disable any wireless functionality provided by the rtw89 driver.
