CVE-2024-47715 – ZyXEL EX5700 WiFi mt76 Kernel Oops Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2024-47715

Published : Oct. 21, 2024, 12:15 p.m. | 1 hour, 1 minute ago

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

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986

mt7915_band_config() sets band_idx = 1 on the main phy for mt7986
with MT7975_ONE_ADIE or MT7976_ONE_ADIE.

Commit 0335c034e726 (“wifi: mt76: fix race condition related to
checking tx queue fill status”) introduced a dereference of the
phys array indirectly indexed by band_idx via wcid->phy_idx in
mt76_wcid_cleanup(). This caused the following Oops on affected
mt7986 devices:

Fix by using mt76_dev_phy() which will map band_idx to the correct phy
for all hardware combinations.
