CVE-2026-64037

Estado: Pendiente de análisisCrítica (9.8)—

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

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: fix TSO segmentation explosion when AMSDU is disabled

When the TLC notification disables AMSDU for a TID, the MLD driver sets max_tid_amsdu_len to the sentinel value 1. The TSO segmentation path in iwl_mld_tx_tso_segment() checks for zero but not for this sentinel, allowing it to reach the num_subframes calculation:

This zero propagates to iwl_tx_tso_segment() which sets:

Calling skb_gso_segment() with gso_size=0 creates over 32000 tiny segments from a single GSO skb.

This floods the TX ring with ~1024 micro-frames (the rest are purged), creating a massive burst of TX completion events that can lead to memory corruption and a subsequent use-after-free in TCP's retransmit queue (refcount underflow in tcp_shifted_skb, NULL deref in tcp_rack_detect_loss).

The MVM driver is immune because it checks mvmsta->amsdu_enabled before reaching the num_subframes calculation. The MLD driver has no equivalent bitmap check and relies solely on max_tid_amsdu_len, which does not catch the sentinel value.

Fix this by detecting the sentinel value (max_tid_amsdu_len == 1) at the existing check and falling back to non-AMSDU TSO segmentation. Also add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard after the num_subframes division as defense-in-depth to catch any future code paths that produce zero through a different mechanism.

  num_subframes = (max_tid_amsdu_len + pad) / (subf_len + pad)
                = (1 + 2) / (1534 + 2) = 0

  gso_size = num_subframes * mss = 0

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N (red sin privilegios, ejecución remota) → T1190. Impactos: DoS por corrupción de memoria y desbordamiento del anillo TX (T1499.004), corrupción de datos en TCP (T1565.001), potencial escalada vía use-after-free.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
