Overview

CVE-2024-49930 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

wifi: ath11k: fix array out-of-bound access in SoC stats

Currently, the ath11k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error array is defined with a

maximum size of DP_REO_DST_RING_MAX. However, the ath11k_dp_process_rx()

function access ath11k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error using the REO

destination SRNG ring ID, which is incorrect. SRNG ring ID differ from

normal ring ID, and this usage leads to out-of-bounds array access. To fix

this issue, modify ath11k_dp_process_rx() to use the normal ring ID

directly instead of the SRNG ring ID to avoid out-of-bounds array access.

Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.7.0.1-01744-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
