The size of the response packet is not validated.\n2. The response buffer is not freed.\n\nResolve these issues by switching to iwl_mvm_send_cmd_status(),\nwhich handles both size validation and frees the buffer." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H", "baseScore": 7.1, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:A - The vulnerable code is only entered through the iwlwifi firmware-error/HW-restart recovery flow, which an attacker within Wi-Fi radio range can drive by sending malformed 802.11 frames that provoke firmware asserts. This requires being on the same radio segment, not routable network access.\nAC:L - Once a recovery cycle occurs the response page is leaked deterministically on every invocation, and an adjacent attacker can repeat the stimulus to re-enter the path arbitrarily often. No memory-layout grooming or uncontrollable victim state is needed.\nPR:N - The adjacent radio attacker needs no credentials on the target host and no association is required to emit frames that provoke firmware errors. Nothing along the path from `iwl_mvm_nic_error()` to `iwl_mvm_send_recovery_cmd()` performs a privilege check.\nUI:N - The device only needs its Wi-Fi interface up; the recovery path is entered automatically by the driver's error handler with no victim action.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read, the leaked page, and the forced disconnect all stay within the kernel's own security authority on the affected host. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:L - The unvalidated `*(__le32 *)host_cmd.resp_pkt->data` read can pull up to 4 bytes of adjacent kernel memory from beyond the declared payload, and that value is emitted to the kernel log by `IWL_ERR`. The disclosure is strictly bounded to a fixed 4 bytes rather than an arbitrary read.\nI:N - There is no out-of-bounds or attacker-controlled write anywhere in the flow — the defect is a read of an unvalidated length plus a missing free. No kernel data or control flow can be corrupted.\nA:H - Every recovery cycle leaks an entire RX page (`iwl_free_resp()` is never called), so repeated attacker-induced firmware restarts cause unbounded kernel memory exhaustion, which is serious on the embedded/IoT/automotive systems this driver runs on. Additionally, a garbage non-zero status read out of bounds triggers `ieee80211_hw_restart_disconnect()` on every station interface, tearing down all Wi-Fi connectivity on a host where Wi-Fi is often the only link." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
