CVE-2024-49931: wifi: ath12k: fix array out-of-bound access in SoC stats

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux a4aef827a41cdaf6201bbaf773c1eae4e20e967b, ad791e3ec60cb66c1e4dc121ffbf872df312427d, d0e4274d9dc9f8409d56d622cd3ecf7b6fd49e2f; azl3 kernel 6.6.51.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2; azl3 kernel 6.6.57.1-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux a4aef827a41cdaf6201bbaf773c1eae4e20e967b, ad791e3ec60cb66c1e4dc121ffbf872df312427d, d0e4274d9dc9f8409d56d622cd3ecf7b6fd49e2f; azl3 kernel 6.6.51.1-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2; azl3 kernel 6.6.57.1-2 on Azure Linux 3.0 6.6.57.1-2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: fix array out-of-bound access in SoC stats Currently, the ath12k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error array is defined with a maximum size of DP_REO_DST_RING_MAX. However, the ath12k_dp_rx_process() function access ath12k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error using the REO destination SRNG ring ID, which is incorrect. SRNG ring ID differ from normal ring ID, and this usage leads to out-of-bounds array access. To fix this issue, modify ath12k_dp_rx_process() to use the normal ring ID directly instead of the SRNG ring ID to avoid out-of-bounds array access. Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
