CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's mt7915 driver, where an unchecked device-controlled address can lead to an out-of-bounds write in the eeprom.data buffer. This flaw could be exploited by a malicious or malfunctioning device, potentially leading to data corruption or system instability. Organizations using affected Linux systems with mt7915 hardware should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7915: bound the device EEPROM address before the EFUSE copy mt7915_mcu_get_eeprom() copies a fixed EFUSE block into the driver's dev->mt76.eeprom.data buffer at the offset reported by the MCU response (res->addr, a device-controlled __le32) without checking it against the buffer size. A malicious or malfunctioning device can report an arbitrary address and drive a 16-byte out-of-bounds write past eeprom.data. Reject a response whose address would place the copy outside eeprom.data before deriving the destination pointer. Devices that echo the requested in-bounds offset are unaffected.
