CVE-2024-49928

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.1)—

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

wifi: rtw89: avoid reading out of bounds when loading TX power FW elements

Because the loop-expression will do one more time before getting false from cond-expression, the original code copied one more entry size beyond valid region.

Fix it by moving the entry copy to loop-body.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

AV:L/PR:L sin UI indica escalada local (T1068). Buffer over-read en firmware WiFi permite ejecución de código o DoS; confianza moderada por descripción técnica abstracta sin detalles de explotabilidad.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
