CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's mt7925 Wi-Fi driver, which can crash during reset recovery due to improper handling of firmware state for links. Specifically, a NULL pointer can be passed to a function responsible for adding devices, leading to potential system instability. Organizations using Linux systems with the mt7925 driver should prioritize addressing this issue to ensure reliable network connectivity and prevent crashes.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix crash in reset link replay During reset recovery, mt7925_vif_connect_iter() replays firmware state for links tracked in mvif->valid_links. After MLO link changes or MCU timeout recovery, the driver bitmap can temporarily contain a link whose mac80211 bss_conf has already gone away. This can pass a NULL bss_conf to mt76_connac_mcu_uni_add_dev(), matching the crash where x1, the second argument, is NULL: pc : mt76_connac_mcu_uni_add_dev+0x8c/0x1f8 [mt76_connac_lib] lr : mt7925_vif_connect_iter+0x9c/0x168 [mt7925_common] x2 : ffffff80a77f6018 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : ffffff8099402080 Call trace: mt76_connac_mcu_uni_add_dev+0x8c/0x1f8 [mt76_connac_lib] mt7925_vif_connect_iter+0x9c/0x168 [mt7925_common] mt7925_mac_reset_work+0x264/0x2f8 [mt7925_common] Skip missing bss_conf entries before replaying the link. Non-MLO AP/STA reset replay is unchanged because the helper still returns &vif->bss_conf for the legacy link.
