CVE-2025-38657CVE-2025-38657
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: mcc: prevent shift wrapping in rtw89_core_mlsr_switch()
The "link_id" value comes from the user via debugfs. If it's larger
than BITS_PER_LONG then that would result in shift wrapping and
potentially an out of bounds access later. In fact, we can limit it
to IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15).
Fortunately, only root can write to debugfs files so the security
impact is minimal.
