CVE-2026-64037CVE-2026-64037
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mld: fix TSO segmentation explosion when AMSDU is disabled
When the TLC notification disables AMSDU for a TID, the MLD driver sets
max_tid_amsdu_len to the sentinel value 1. The TSO segmentation path in
iwl_mld_tx_tso_segment() checks for zero but not for this sentinel,
allowing it to reach the num_subframes calculation:
num_subframes = (max_tid_amsdu_len + pad) / (subf_len + pad)
= (1 + 2) / (1534 + 2) = 0
This zero propagates to iwl_tx_tso_segment() which sets:
gso_size = num_subframes * mss = 0
Calling skb_gso_segment() with gso_size=0 creates over 32000 tiny
segments from a single GSO skb. This floods the TX ring with ~1024
micro-frames (the rest are purged), creating a massive burst of TX
completion events that can lead to memory corruption and a subsequent
use-after-free in TCP's retransmit queue (refcount underflow in
tcp_shifted_skb, NULL deref in tcp_rack_detect_loss).
