CVE-2022-50701: kernel: wifi: mt76: mt7921s: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in sdio host
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CWE: CWE-131 (Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size)
CVSS v3: 6.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)
Public date: 2025-12-24T00:00:00+00:00

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

wifi: mt76: mt7921s: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in sdio host

SDIO may need addtional 511 bytes to align bus operation. If the tailroom
of this skb is not big enough, we would access invalid memory region.
For low level operation, increase skb size to keep valid memory access in
SDIO host.
