Summary

In the Linux kernel iwlwifi driver, three BA session handlers used ffs(ba_data->sta_mask) - 1 to derive a station ID without checking that sta_mask is non-zero. When sta_mask is zero, ffs() returns 0 and the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF, causing an out-of-bounds access on fw_id_to_link_sta[]. WARN_ON_ONCE(!ba_data->sta_mask) guards were added before each ffs() call.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability could lead to system crash (kernel panic) or potentially privilege escalation due to out-of-bounds kernel memory access.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit adding WARN_ON_ONCE).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mld: validate sta_mask before ffs() in BA session handlers Three BA session handlers use ffs(ba_data->sta_mask) - 1 to derive a station ID without checking that sta_mask is non-zero. When sta_mask is zero, ffs() returns 0 and the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF, causing an out-of-bounds access on fw_id_to_link_sta[]. Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!ba_data->sta_mask) guards before each ffs() call, consistent with the existing check in iwl_mld_ampdu_rx_start().
