Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7925: ensure tx headroom in usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb
mt7925_usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb() pushes a TX descriptor and a USB
header onto every skb and assumes the headroom for them is already
there. That holds for locally generated traffic, where mac80211
reserves hw->extra_tx_headroom, but forwarded frames are sent through
ieee80211_8023_xmit(), which does not reserve it. Bridge a wired
interface to an mt7925u AP and the first forwarded frame that arrives
short panics the kernel:
