Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel related to out-of-bounds access in SoC stats for the ath11k wifi module. The issue arises from incorrect usage of the SRNG ring ID, leading to errors in array access.

Risk Assessment

Uncontrolled memory access may lead to system crashes or potential execution of malicious code, posing a threat to system stability and security.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version that includes a fix for this vulnerability to minimize the risks associated with memory access.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix array out-of-bound access in SoC stats Currently, the ath11k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error array is defined with a maximum size of DP_REO_DST_RING_MAX. However, the ath11k_dp_process_rx() function access ath11k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error using the REO destination SRNG ring ID, which is incorrect. SRNG ring ID differ from normal ring ID, and this usage leads to out-of-bounds array access. To fix this issue, modify ath11k_dp_process_rx() to use the normal ring ID directly instead of the SRNG ring ID to avoid out-of-bounds array access. Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.7.0.1-01744-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
