Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: at76c50x-usb: avoid length underflow in at76_guess_freq()
at76_guess_freq() checks only that the received frame is at least a bare
802.11 header (24 bytes) before subtracting the fixed management-body
offset:
len -= el_off;
For both beacon and probe response frames, el_off is 36. If the frame is
shorter than el_off, subtracting it causes the calculated IE length to
wrap. The length is eventually passed to cfg80211_find_elem_match() as a
very large unsigned value, so the element walk runs beyond the RX skb.
This path is reached from at76_rx_tasklet() while scanning. If the device
delivers a truncated beacon or probe response, the oversized IE length
causes an out-of-bounds read during scanning.
Skip the IE lookup if the frame does not reach the variable elements,
before subtracting el_off.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's at76c50x-usb Wi-Fi driver. A remote attacker could exploit a length underflow vulnerability in the at76_guess_freq() function by sending a specially crafted Wi-Fi frame. This can cause an out-of-bounds read during the scanning process, potentially leading to a denial of service or the disclosure of sensitive information.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
