"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: mac80211: minstrel_ht: validate fixed rate index\n\nThe fixed_rate_idx debugfs file is a plain u32 attribute, so any value\ncan be written to it. minstrel_ht_update_stats() then copies the value\ninto mi->max_tp_rate[] and mi->max_prob_rate, and\nminstrel_ht_set_rate() uses MI_RATE_GROUP()/MI_RATE_IDX() to index\nminstrel_mcs_groups[] (42 entries) and mi->groups[].rates[] (10 entries)\nwith it.\n\nWriting e.g. 65535 selects group 4095 and rate index 15, far outside\nboth arrays. The out-of-bounds entries are dereferenced and updated as\nstruct minstrel_rate_stats (retry counts, etc.), so the invalid index\ncorrupts adjacent kernel memory. With CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS the access is\nreported as an array-index-out-of-bounds in minstrel_ht_set_rate().\n\nOnly a valid group/rate pair, or U32_MAX to disable fixed rate\nprocessing, can be used safely, so reject any other value when the\ndebugfs file is written.\n\nThe file is only reachable through a root-only debugfs mount, so this is\nnot a privilege boundary. The out-of-bounds access is still a bug that\nmust not be reachable through a writable debugfs attribute."
