CVE-2025-71234
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtl8xxxu: fix slab-out-of-bounds in rtl8xxxu_sta_add
The driver does not set hw->sta_data_size, which causes mac80211 to allocate insufficient space for driver private station data in __sta_info_alloc(). When rtl8xxxu_sta_add() accesses members of struct rtl8xxxu_sta_info through sta->drv_priv, this results in a slab-out-of-bounds write.
Set hw->sta_data_size to sizeof(struct rtl8xxxu_sta_info) during probe, similar to how hw->vif_data_size is configured. This ensures mac80211 allocates sufficient space for the driver's per-station private data.
