Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7915: guard HE capability lookups
mt7915_mcu_bss_he_tlv() and mt7915_mcu_sta_bfer_tlv() both run after
checking HE support, then dereference the HE PHY capability returned by
mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap(). That helper can return NULL when no
capability entry matches the vif type.
Fetch the capability before appending the TLV and skip the HE-specific
setup when no matching capability is available.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mt76 wifi driver. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of High Efficiency (HE) capability lookups, where a null pointer could be dereferenced. This could lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
This issue affects MediaTek mt7915 Wi-Fi hardware. HE PHY capability lookups were not guarded against NULL returns before dereferencing in MCU TLV setup. Systems without mt7915 hardware are not affected.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the mt7915e module from loading. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
