CVE-2026-92497

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the wifi ath12k driver's ath12k_wmi_op_rx() reads the firmware buffer without first verifying that it contains enough data to hold a header. This could result in a buffer overread. The fix adds a check that the buffer holds at least a wmi_cmd_hdr before reading.

Risk Assessment

A buffer overread can result in disclosure of kernel memory contents or a system crash (denial of service). This affects devices with ath12k Wi-Fi adapters, such as WCN7850.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the ath12k driver fix. Until then, monitor the stability of systems using ath12k adapters.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Avoid buffer overread in ath12k_wmi_op_rx() Currently, in ath12k_wmi_op_rx(), the firmware buffer is read without first verifying that the buffer has enough data to hold a header. This could result in a buffer overread. Update the logic to verify the buffer contains at least enough data to hold a wmi_cmd_hdr before reading from the buffer. Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c7-00108-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ_UPSTREAM-3
