CVE-2023-53679

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

wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow

Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg(). The variable dma_len in the URB packet could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of seg_len in mt7601u_rx_process_seg(). This underflow subsequently causes the bad_frame checks in mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg() to be bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer p, which is a null pointer.

Ensure that dma_len is greater than min_seg_len.

Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

Weakness

The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
