This requires radio proximity to the AP's 6 GHz band rather than routable network access, which is Adjacent per the WiFi frame-injection guidance.\nAC:L - On the affected hardware the miscount is deterministic — band 2's chainmask sits entirely above bit 7, so hweight8() always returns 0 and tx_ant is always -1 — and the attacker simply associates while advertising SU-beamformee support to reach matrix[-1][ncol] every time. There is no race, no memory-layout requirement, and the attempt can be repeated indefinitely by re-associating.\nPR:N - In AP mode hostapd creates the station object at association, before the 4-way handshake or any credential validation, so mt7996_mac_sta_add() → mt7996_mcu_sta_bfer_tlv() runs for an attacker holding no key and no account on the target. Open and mesh/IBSS deployments have no authentication gate at all.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the association itself and the AP's kernel processes it automatically; no action by any user or administrator on the victim system is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and the resulting bogus firmware-command fields stay within the kernel driver's own security authority, crossing no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:L - matrix[-1][ncol] reads adjacent kernel stack memory outside the const array, exposing stack contents that are then written into the sta_rec_bf TLV and transmitted to the WiFi firmware. The read is strictly bounded to the four bytes immediately preceding a 16-byte object at a fixed negative offset with no attacker-directed address and no channel returning the data over the air, so it is a small bounded leak rather than arbitrary read.\nI:L - The uninitialized out-of-bounds byte and the underflowed antenna count (ibf_nrow = 0xFF, mem_20m/mem_total derived from stray stack data) are programmed into the chip's beamforming profile via the MCU STA_REC_UPDATE command, a remotely-influenced corruption of device configuration state. No kernel memory is written out of bounds and no control-flow influence is available, so the modification is limited rather than arbitrary.\nA:H - The condition is a KASAN-detected stack-out-of-bounds in mt7996_mcu_add_sta(), which oopses and panics outright on kernels built with KASAN plus panic_on_warn or kasan.fault=panic — common in vendor and hardened builds. Independently, feeding out-of-range beamforming memory parameters and a 0xFF antenna count to the WiFi MCU can wedge the firmware and take the radio down, and the attacker can retrigger it on every association." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "98686cd21624c75a043e96812beadddf4f6f48e5", "lessThan": "50d87e3b70980abc090676b6b4703fcbd96221f9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98686cd21624c75a043e96812beadddf4f6f48e5", "lessThan": "8f51fc8a9e2fd96363d8ec3f4ee4b78dd64754e3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98686cd21624c75a043e96812beadddf4f6f48e5", "lessThan": "33954930870c18ec549e4bca0eeff43e252cb740", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "98686cd21624c75a043e96812beadddf4f6f48e5", "lessThan": "f98c3de92bb05dac4a4969df8a4595ed380b4604", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mcu.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.2", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.54", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.10.13", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.54" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.10.13" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.2" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50d87e3b70980abc090676b6b4703fcbd96221f9" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f51fc8a9e2fd96363d8ec3f4ee4b78dd64754e3" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33954930870c18ec549e4bca0eeff43e252cb740" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f98c3de92bb05dac4a4969df8a4595ed380b4604" } ], "title": "wifi: mt76: mt7996: use hweight16 to get correct tx antenna", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-47714", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-10-21T13:02:52.416293Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-10-21T13:04:18.545Z" } } ] } }
