DescriptionCVE.org

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

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: validate sta_mask before ffs() in BA session handlers

Three BA session handlers use ffs(ba_data->sta_mask) - 1 to derive a station ID without checking that sta_mask is non-zero. When sta_mask is zero, ffs() returns 0 and the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF, causing an out-of-bounds access on fw_id_to_link_sta[].

Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!ba_data->sta_mask) guards before each ffs() call, consistent with the existing check in iwl_mld_ampdu_rx_start().

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel’s iwlwifi wireless driver allows a remote attacker on the same WiFi network to corrupt kernel memory, potentially leading to code execution or system crash. The flaw occurs in Block Acknowledgment session handlers where the sta_mask field is not checked before being used to index an array, causing a wrap-around when the mask is zero. Affected are kernel versions prior to 6.18.38 and 7.1.3; no active exploitation or public exploit code is known at this time, and EPSS indicates a low probability of exploitation.
