CVE-2026-90408 in Linux
Zusammenfassung
von MITRE • 17.09.2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix overreads in ath12k_wmi_process_csa_switch_count_event()
There is no policy entry for WMI_TAG_PDEV_CSA_SWITCH_COUNT_STATUS_EVENT, so the parse infrastructure does not enforce a minimum length for the event struct. Additionally, the num_vdevs field is taken directly from firmware and used as a loop bound over the vdev_ids array without checking that it fits within the TLV payload. Either condition can cause an out-of-bounds read.
Add a TLV policy entry for WMI_TAG_PDEV_CSA_SWITCH_COUNT_STATUS_EVENT so the parse infrastructure enforces a minimum length for the fixed-size event struct. Add a helper ath12k_wmi_tlv_data_len() to recover the payload length of a parsed TLV from the header preceding its data pointer. Use it in ath12k_wmi_process_csa_switch_count_event() to bound num_vdevs before the loop.
Compile tested only.
