CVE-2023-53679CVE-2023-53679
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow
Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in
'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()'. The variable 'dma_len' in the URB packet
could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of
'seg_len' in 'mt7601u_rx_process_seg()'. This underflow subsequently
causes the 'bad_frame' checks in 'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()' to be
bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer 'p', which
is a null pointer.
Ensure that 'dma_len' is greater than 'min_seg_len'.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
