those bytes arrive over WiFi radio, which is adjacent rather than a routable IP transport.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides: data frames on a non-default MLO link keep mt76_rx_poll_complete using a secondary mt792x_link_sta.wcid that mt76_sta_pre_rcu_remove never NULLs, while a deauth/disassoc runs __sta_info_destroy. mt7925_mac_link_sta_remove then sleeps in MCU commands before clearing that idx, so the race is attacker-retryable.\nPR:N - mt76_rx_poll_complete and ieee80211_rx_mgmt_deauth→ieee80211_set_disassoc run on the WiFi RX path with no Linux credential or capability check; a radio-range MLO AP sending deauth plus data is enough, with no local account on the mt7925 client.\nUI:N - Once the mt7925 station VIF is already in an MLO association (WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_MLO is set only for NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION), the attacker triggers STA teardown and the concurrent RX by transmitting; no mount, click, or other victim action is required at exploit time.\nS:U - The UAF is of the mt792x_link_sta.wcid published in dev->wcid[] and later used in mt76_check_sta/mt76_rx_complete inside this host kernel; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or guest/host boundary.\nC:H - After the MLD STA is freed, mt76_check_sta and mt76_rx_convert still dereference status->wcid (wcid->sta, wcid->link_valid/link_id, wcid_to_sta()) from skb->cb, a use-after-free of the attacker-reallocatable mt792x_link_sta that enables arbitrary kernel reads.\nI:H - The same dangling wcid is written in mt76_check_sta (ewma_signal_add, wcid->inactive_count, PS flag bits) and in mt76_check_ccmp_pn (memcpy into wcid->rx_key_pn[] from the frame IV), giving a kernel write primitive through the freed mt792x_link_sta.\nA:H - KASAN already reports invalid-access in mt76_rx_poll_complete when the RX NAPI uses the freed wcid after STA removal; that use-after-free oopses or panics the kernel even without a full exploit." } ] } ], "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/mt7925/main.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "c948b5da6bbec742b433138e3e3f9537a85af2e5", "lessThan": "aaf414bf81ab4b680580871784b0b929818188eb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c948b5da6bbec742b433138e3e3f9537a85af2e5", "lessThan": "2aa3d3b9fac9163e9226e35556607ae3f75be21e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c948b5da6bbec742b433138e3e3f9537a85af2e5", "lessThan": "b250943f3f8351385a17972bda001664a5c51008", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c948b5da6bbec742b433138e3e3f9537a85af2e5", "lessThan": "217f9e7bb02558759be9d9ecfe532e9708741c50", "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/mt7925/main.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.7", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.57", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.6", "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": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.57" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aaf414bf81ab4b680580871784b0b929818188eb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2aa3d3b9fac9163e9226e35556607ae3f75be21e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b250943f3f8351385a17972bda001664a5c51008" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/217f9e7bb02558759be9d9ecfe532e9708741c50" } ], "title": "wifi: mt76: mt792x: fix use-after-free in mt76_rx_poll_complete", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
