Summary

In the Linux kernel, the t7xx WWAN driver's t7xx_port_ctrl_tx() function clones each skb fragment before passing it to the transmit path. The lack of a check on skb_clone() results in a NULL pointer dereference when cloning fails.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could cause a system crash (kernel panic) by triggering a NULL pointer dereference, leading to denial of service (DoS).

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds a check for skb_clone() before using the cloned fragment.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: t7xx: check skb_clone in control TX t7xx_port_ctrl_tx() clones each skb fragment before passing it to the port transmit path. The clone is used immediately to set cloned->len, so an skb_clone() failure results in a NULL pointer dereference. Check the clone before using it. If previous fragments were already queued, preserve the driver's existing partial-write behavior by returning the number of bytes submitted so far.
