Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bounds-check link_id in ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration link_id is taken from the ML Reconfiguration element (control & 0x000f), so it can be 0..15. link_removal_timeout[] has IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS (15) elements, so index 15 is out-of-bounds. Skip subelements with link_id >= IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS to avoid a stack out-of-bounds write.
Analysis
A stack out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's mac80211 WiFi subsystem in the ieee80211_ml_reconfiguration function, where the link_id parameter extracted from the ML Reconfiguration element is not properly bounds-checked before being used as an array index. The vulnerability affects Linux kernel versions across multiple release branches (6.5 through 7.0-rc2), allowing an attacker with network proximity to craft a malicious WiFi frame to trigger a buffer overflow and potentially cause denial of service or code execution. …
