Summary

In the Linux kernel's ath12k Wi-Fi driver, a vulnerability was found due to missing packet length validation before processing in ath12k_dp_rx_h_undecap_nwifi. Hardware may deliver packets exceeding the maximum native Wi-Fi header length, leading to invalid data access and potential memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of memory corruption and potential system crashes when receiving Wi-Fi packets, which could disrupt wireless network operations.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds a sanity check before processing packets in the undecap native Wi-Fi function.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Fix invalid data access in ath12k_dp_rx_h_undecap_nwifi In certain cases, hardware might provide packets with a length greater than the maximum native Wi-Fi header length. This can lead to accessing and modifying fields in the header within the ath12k_dp_rx_h_undecap_nwifi function for DP_RX_DECAP_TYPE_NATIVE_WIFI decap type and potentially resulting in invalid data access and memory corruption. Add a sanity check before processing the SKB to prevent invalid data access in the undecap native Wi-Fi function for the DP_RX_DECAP_TYPE_NATIVE_WIFI decap type. Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00173-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
