Description

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

wifi: mt76: mt76x0: fix oob access in mt76x0_phy_get_target_power

After 'commit ba45841ca5eb ("wifi: mt76: mt76x02: simplify struct
mt76x02_rate_power")', mt76x02 relies on ht[0-7] rate_power data for
vht mcs{0,7}, while it uses vth[0-1] rate_power for vht mcs {8,9}.
Fix a possible out-of-bound access in mt76x0_phy_get_target_power routine.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
