In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't read past the mfuart notifcation In case the firmware sends a notification that claims it has more data than it has, we will read past that was allocated for the notification. Remove the print of the buffer, we won't see it by default. If needed, we can see the content with tracing. This was reported by KFENCE.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: no leer más allá de la notificación mfuart En caso de que el firmware envíe una notificación que dice que tiene más datos de los que tiene, leeremos más allá de los asignados para la notificación. Elimina la impresión del búfer, no la veremos por defecto. Si es necesario, podemos ver el contenido con rastreo. Así lo informó KFENCE.
