CVE-2022-50297

Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—

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

wifi: ath9k: verify the expected usb_endpoints are present

The bug arises when a USB device claims to be an ATH9K but doesn't have the expected endpoints. (In this case there was an interrupt endpoint where the driver expected a bulk endpoint.) The kernel needs to be able to handle such devices without getting an internal error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
