Summary

In the Linux kernel, the rtw89 WiFi driver has a bug in the drop logic for malformed AMPDU frames. The previous fix fails with the first AMPDU packet in a certain sequence number range, causing unexpected packet drops and possible disconnection from the AP during rekey.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential disconnection from the WiFi access point during the rekey process, leading to network connectivity interruptions.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds initial state judgement and resets status only during pairwise rekey.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: correct drop logic for malformed AMPDU frames The previous commit aims to fix issue caused by malformed AMPDU frames. But the drop logic fails to deal with the first AMPDU packet paired with certain range of sequence number, and leads to unexpected packet drop. It is more likely to encounter this failure when there are busy traffic during rekey process and could lead to disconnection from the AP. Fix this by adding a initial state judgement and only reset status during pairwise rekey.
