"value": "AV:A - A nearby 802.11 peer supplies the malformed MCS map in the HE Capabilities MCS NSS field of an Association Request. hostapd's NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION reaches ieee80211_add_station()→sta_link_apply_parameters(), which copies he_mcs_nss_supp; mt76_sta_state(AUTH→ASSOC) then calls mt7915_mcu_get_sta_nss() on that map. WiFi radio range is Adjacent.\nAC:L - The attacker sets every 2-bit NSS field in HE rx_mcs_80 or rx_mcs_160 to 0x3. mt7915_mcu_get_sta_nss() then leaves its nss=8..1 loop with nss==0 and returns (u8)-1 (255) on every association. mac80211 does not reject an all-0x3 HE MCS map (unlike the 0xFFFF VHT check in ieee80211_vht_cap_ie_to_sta_vht_cap()). No race is involved.\nPR:N - mt7915_mac_sta_event(MT76_STA_EVENT_ASSOC) runs from sta_info_move_state(IEEE80211_STA_ASSOC) when hostapd's NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION sets ASSOCIATED, before AUTHORIZED (the WPA 4-way handshake). 802.11 Open System authentication does not require a PSK or SAE credential on this path.\nUI:N - The attacker transmits the Association Request. ieee80211_add_station() and mt7915_mcu_add_sta() run in the AP kernel with no operator action on the victim device.\nS:U - The underflowed NSS is stored in the kernel sta_rec_bf TLV and sent to the on-device mt7915 MCU via MCU_EXT_CMD(STA_REC_UPDATE). Impact stays in the same kernel/device authority; this is not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox escape.\nC:N - mt7915_mcu_get_sta_nss() only derives a u8 from the peer MCS map. That 255 is stored in sta_rec_bf.ncol_gt_bw80 or ibf_ncol; ncol used to index matrix[4][4] is min()'d with nrow, so there is no kernel OOB read and nothing is returned over the air.\nI:L - mt7915_mcu_sta_bfer_he() writes the underflowed nss_mcs (255) directly to sta_rec_bf.ncol_gt_bw80 on 160 MHz, and the implicit-VHT path writes it to ibf_ncol, then mt7915_mcu_add_sta() sends that TLV to firmware. That is a limited corruption of the chip beamforming profile, not an arbitrary kernel write.\nA:H - ncol_gt_bw80 and ibf_ncol are NSS counts the mt7915 MCU uses as beamforming dimensions. 255 is far outside the 0–3 range implied by the driver's matrix[4][4], so the firmware can hang or crash and take the radio down, and the peer can retrigger it on every association."
