In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow
Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in 'mt7601urxskbfromseg()'. The variable 'dmalen' in the URB packet could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of 'seglen' in 'mt7601urxprocessseg()'. This underflow subsequently causes the 'badframe' checks in 'mt7601urxskbfromseg()' to be bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer 'p', which is a null pointer.
Ensure that 'dmalen' is greater than 'minseg_len'.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
