Technical description

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

wifi: mt76: mt7921: Add PCIe AER handler support to prevent system crash

When an AER error occurs and the bus is hung, the register reads return

0xFFFFFFFF, causing the DMA queue state to be corrupted and resulting in

an invalid memory access when accessing q->desc[] or q->entry[].

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
