13th percentile - higher than 13% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel iwlwifi driver (mvm subsystem), the sta_id in the BA_WINDOW_STATUS_NOTIFICATION_ID notification is not validated before being used as an index into the fw_id_to_mac_id[] array, leading to potential out-of-bounds access.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this to access kernel memory out of bounds, potentially leading to privilege escalation or information disclosure.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that validates sta_id before array access.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: validate sta_id in BA window status notif BA_WINDOW_STATUS_NOTIFICATION_ID extracts a 5-bit sta_id from the firmware notification and uses it to index fw_id_to_mac_id[] without bounds checking. Validate sta_id before array access to prevent out-of-bounds indexing.
