Kernel service interruption via truncated antenna bit count
Published Oct 21, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Stack out-of-bounds access in the Linux mt7996 Wi-Fi driver from 6.2 allows attackers to interrupt kernel operation via adjacent wireless activity. mt7996_mcu_add_sta derives a transmit-antenna count from a 16-bit chainmask with hweight8, truncating its upper byte and producing tx_ant -1 for band 2. The affected path requires an MT7996 wireless device and band 2 operation; the resulting invalid stack access causes a KASAN fault.
