Summary

In the Linux kernel, the carl9170 driver has a buffer overflow vulnerability in the rx_stream failover path. Copying the full tlen from the second USB transfer instead of capping at rx_failover_missing can exceed the 65535-byte failover SKB, triggering skb_over_panic.

Risk Assessment

May lead to system panic or potentially remote code execution in kernel context.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that limits the copy size to the missing byte count.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: carl9170: fix buffer overflow in rx_stream failover path The failover continuation in carl9170_rx_stream() copies the full tlen from the second USB transfer instead of capping at rx_failover_missing bytes. When both transfers are near maximum size, the total exceeds the 65535-byte failover SKB, triggering skb_over_panic. Limit the copy size to the missing byte count.
