CVE-2023-53232CVE-2023-53232
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: mt7921: fix kernel panic by accessing unallocated eeprom.data
The MT7921 driver no longer uses eeprom.data, but the relevant code has not
been removed completely since
commit 16d98b548365 ("mt76: mt7921: rely on mcu_get_nic_capability").
This could result in potential invalid memory access.
To fix the kernel panic issue in mt7921, it is necessary to avoid accessing
unallocated eeprom.data which can lead to invalid memory access.
Furthermore, it is possible to entirely eliminate the
mt7921_mcu_parse_eeprom function and solely depend on
mt7921_mcu_parse_response to divide the RxD header.
