Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: carl9170: fix OOB read from off-by-two in TX status handler
The bounds check in carl9170_tx_process_status() uses
i > ((cmd->hdr.len / 2) + 1) which is off by two, allowing
2 extra iterations past valid _tx_status entries when the firmware-
controlled hdr.ext exceeds hdr.len/2. Fix by using the correct
comparison i >= (cmd->hdr.len / 2).
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's carl9170 Wi-Fi driver. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the carl9170_tx_process_status() function. This issue is caused by an off-by-two error in a bounds check, allowing the system to read beyond the intended memory buffer when processing firmware-controlled data. This could potentially lead to information disclosure or system instability.
