Overview

CVE-2024-49931 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 21, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

wifi: ath12k: fix array out-of-bound access in SoC stats

Currently, the ath12k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error array is defined with a

maximum size of DP_REO_DST_RING_MAX. However, the ath12k_dp_rx_process()

function access ath12k_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 ath12k_dp_rx_process() to use the normal ring ID

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

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-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.
