Descriptions

In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).

En el kernel de Linux versiones hasta 5.15.2, la función mwifiex_usb_recv en el archivo drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c permite a un atacante (que puede conectar un dispositivo USB diseñado) causar una denegación de servicio (skb_over_panic)

A denial of service flaw was found in mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c in the usb subsystem of the Linux kernel. This is due to a missing clean-up for a malfunctioning usb device with an unknown recv_type.
