Summary

In the Linux kernel, the mt7925 driver's mt7925_tm_query() function copies data from the firmware response without checking its length. If the response is shorter than the expected 520 bytes, an out-of-bounds read occurs, and the extra data is returned to userspace. A length check was added before the copy.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability may lead to kernel memory disclosure to user processes, potentially exposing sensitive information. It could also cause system instability or crashes.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds response length validation before the copy operation.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: validate skb length in testmode query In mt7925_tm_query(), the response skb from mt76_mcu_send_and_get_msg() is used in a memcpy without validating its length: memcpy(evt_resp, skb->data + 8, MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN); where MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN is 512. If the firmware returns a response shorter than 520 bytes (8 + 512), this reads beyond the skb data buffer. The over-read data is then returned to userspace via nla_put() in mt7925_testmode_dump(). Add a length check before the memcpy to ensure the skb contains sufficient data.
