CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's MT76 driver, specifically the mt7996_init_tx_queues() function, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when certain configurations are enabled. This flaw could result in system crashes or instability when using devices with the Airoha NPU SoC. Organizations utilizing affected Linux systems with these configurations should prioritize applying the fix to mitigate potential disruptions.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mt7996_init_tx_queues() When MT76_NPU and CONFIG_NET_MEDIATEK_SOC_WED are enabled and mt76 detects properly the Airoha NPU SoC, mt7996_init_tx_queues() will dereference a NULL WED pointer. Fix the issue by always passing the WED pointer from mt7996_dma_init().
