Summary

In the Linux kernel mt76 WiFi driver (mt7915 model), the mt7915_mcu_bss_he_tlv() and mt7915_mcu_sta_bfer_tlv() functions can dereference a NULL pointer when mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap() returns NULL. This leads to NULL dereference when appending the TLV.

Risk Assessment

NULL pointer dereference can cause system crash or driver hang, leading to loss of WiFi connectivity and potential DoS attack.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that fetches the capability before appending the TLV and skips HE-specific setup when no matching capability is available.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7915: guard HE capability lookups mt7915_mcu_bss_he_tlv() and mt7915_mcu_sta_bfer_tlv() both run after checking HE support, then dereference the HE PHY capability returned by mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap(). That helper can return NULL when no capability entry matches the vif type. Fetch the capability before appending the TLV and skip the HE-specific setup when no matching capability is available.
