5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Oct 21, 2024 linux EPSS 0.22% (12th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2024-47715 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on October 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986

mt7915_band_config() sets band_idx = 1 on the main phy for mt7986

with MT7975_ONE_ADIE or MT7976_ONE_ADIE.

Commit 0335c034e726 ("wifi: mt76: fix race condition related to

checking tx queue fill status") introduced a dereference of the

phys array indirectly indexed by band_idx via wcid->phy_idx in

mt76_wcid_cleanup(). This caused the following Oops on affected

mt7986 devices:

Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0000000000000024

Internal error: Oops: 0000000

Remediation
