In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7996: bound the device EEPROM address before the EFUSE copy
mt7996_mcu_get_eeprom() derives the destination of the EFUSE/EXT block
copy from the address reported by the MCU response (event->addr, a
device-controlled __le32) and clamps only the copy length, never the
destination offset into dev->mt76.eeprom.data. A malicious or
malfunctioning device can report an arbitrary address and drive an
out-of-bounds write of up to MT7996_EXT_EEPROM_BLOCK_SIZE bytes past
eeprom.data.
Reject a response whose address would place the copy outside eeprom.data
before deriving the destination pointer. Devices that echo the requested
in-bounds offset are unaffected.
