Summary

In the Linux kernel iwlwifi driver (mvm subsystem), TX_CMD response parsing does not validate the response layout correctly. The minimum length check does not follow the runtime layout calculation, potentially leading to out-of-bounds read. For the new TX API, responses with frame_count != 1 are rejected.

Risk Assessment

This could allow an attacker to read data beyond the buffer, potentially leading to information disclosure or system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that adjusts the minimum length check to match the actual response layout.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: validate TX_CMD response layout TX_CMD parsing uses frame_count to walk status entries and then read the trailing SCD SSN. Make the minimum-length check follow that exact runtime layout calculation before parsing the payload. For new TX API, reject TX_CMD responses with frame_count != 1 and warn/return in the aggregation handler to document that aggregated accounting is expected via BA notifications.
