wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986
CVE: CVE-2024-47715
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-823
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2024-10-21T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986

mt7915_band_config() sets band_idx = 1 on the main phy for mt7986
with MT7975_ONE_ADIE or MT7976_ONE_ADIE.

Commit 0335c034e726 ("wifi: mt76: fix race condition related to
checking tx queue fill status") introduced a dereference of the
phys array indirectly indexed by band_idx via wcid->phy_idx in
mt76_wcid_cleanup(). This caused the following Oops on affected
mt7986 devices:

Fix by using mt76_dev_phy() which will map band_idx to the correct phy
for all hardware combinations.
