kernel: wifi: ath9k: avoid referencing uninit memory in ath9k_wmi_ctrl_rx

A flaw was identified in the Linux kernel’s ath9k wireless driver where the receiver packet handling code did not correctly validate the length of incoming SKBs before accessing subsequent fields expected to be present. In certain malformed packet conditions e.g., pktlen set too small, the driver...

kernel: wifi: ath9k: Fix use-after-free in ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect()

A use-after-free flaw was discovered in the ath9k USB Wi-Fi driver in the Linux kernel. During the disconnect and deinitialization sequence ath9khifusbdisconnect, the driver could attempt to access its private data drvpriv after it has already been freed by the hardware teardown call...

kernel: wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: fix memory leak of remain_skbs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath9k: hifusb: fix memory leak of remainskbs hifdev-remainskb is allocated and used exclusively in ath9khifusbrxstream. It is implied that an allocated remainskb is processed and subsequently freed in error paths only durin...

kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service in ath9k Wi-Fi driver due to URB memory leak

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ath9k Wi-Fi driver. This memory leak vulnerability occurs because Universal Serial Bus USB request blocks URBs are allocated but not properly freed when certain conditions are met during USB device handling. A local attacker could exploit this by triggering...

kernel: wifi: ath9k: verify the expected usb_endpoints are present

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath9k: verify the expected usbendpoints 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 bu...
