Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: validate skb length in testmode query In mt7925_tm_query(), the response skb from mt76_mcu_send_and_get_msg() is used in a memcpy without validating its length: memcpy(evt_resp, skb->data + 8, MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN); where MT7925_EVT_RSP_LEN is 512.
If the firmware returns a response shorter than 520 bytes (8 + 512), this reads beyond the skb data buffer. The over-read data is then returned to userspace via nla_put() in mt7925_testmode_dump().
Add a length check before the memcpy to ensure the skb contains sufficient data. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted firmware response during a test mode query.
This improper validation of the response length can lead to a buffer over-read, potentially disclosing sensitive information from the kernel's memory to userspace. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-125. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
