CVE-2026-98238

/// Technical description

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

net: wwan: t7xx: validate the netif index in t7xx_ccmni_recv_skb()

The netif index carried in the DPMAIF PIT header is five bits wide,

but ccmni_inst[] only has room for NIC_DEV_MAX (21) entries.

t7xx_ccmni_recv_skb() indexes the array without a bounds check, so

indexes 21 to 31 read past it. The out-of-bounds value lands in the

callback table that follows the array, which is never NULL, so the

existing !ccmni check does not catch it and the driver dereferences

whatever sits there as a struct t7xx_ccmni.

Drop the skb when the index is out of range.

Verified in a QEMU guest with a fault injector setting the netif

index to 25: the unpatched driver reads a value past ccmni_inst[],

which lands in the callback table, and dereferences it far enough to

queue the skb. With this check the packet is dropped. Well-formed

traffic on index 0 is unaffected.

Changes in v2: none.

/// 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.
