the highest reasonable exposure is an adjacent attacker who can drive malicious firmware or device behavior on the local radio.\nAC:L - A malicious MCU response can set an arbitrary res->addr and 16 device-controlled payload bytes; the host then memcpy's MT7915_EEPROM_BLOCK_SIZE bytes to eeprom.data+addr with no race or other condition beyond attacker control.\nPR:N - MCU EEPROM responses are consumed in mt7915_eeprom_load() during driver bring-up with no OS credential, capability, or Wi-Fi authentication check; an adjacent attacker needs no local account.\nUI:N - The copy runs automatically in mt7915_eeprom_load() during pci_probe/platform probe after firmware load; no victim action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a file is required.\nS:U - The write corrupts host kernel heap around the mt76 EEPROM buffer and is standard kernel memory corruption, not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other crossed security authority.\nC:H - Attacker-controlled destination offset and payload are kernel memory corruption that can overwrite adjacent objects and pointers and be leveraged for information disclosure, so confidentiality impact is high.\nI:H - Sixteen bytes of device-controlled data are written at a device-chosen offset past the 3584/4096-byte eeprom.data allocation, an out-of-bounds write primitive that can yield arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - An unbounded kernel heap write during EEPROM init can oops, panic, or hang the host, a high availability impact on Wi-Fi 6 APs, routers, and workstations." } ] } ], "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/mt7915/mcu.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e57b7901469fc0b021930b83a8094baaf3d81b09", "lessThan": "d6774f6af3711143a93281904a928a78652c8b7e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e57b7901469fc0b021930b83a8094baaf3d81b09", "lessThan": "394e8cb56fc732d71041599cdb4e01f82cfd11c5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e57b7901469fc0b021930b83a8094baaf3d81b09", "lessThan": "5fdaf7016d7684ef756a229fd5d96b4a140eeb40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e57b7901469fc0b021930b83a8094baaf3d81b09", "lessThan": "5f48b0d752a76590e2c613aae5345c2474627d1b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e57b7901469fc0b021930b83a8094baaf3d81b09", "lessThan": "44b5adfe49499f53002737f5fe81d608c08122fc", "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/mt7915/mcu.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.8", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.112", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.112" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.8", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d6774f6af3711143a93281904a928a78652c8b7e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/394e8cb56fc732d71041599cdb4e01f82cfd11c5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5fdaf7016d7684ef756a229fd5d96b4a140eeb40" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f48b0d752a76590e2c613aae5345c2474627d1b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/44b5adfe49499f53002737f5fe81d608c08122fc" } ], "title": "wifi: mt76: mt7915: bound the device EEPROM address before the EFUSE copy", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
