Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-49112
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A buffer overflow issue exists in the ` skb pull()` function within the `include/linux/skbuff.h` module. In the mt7921s driver, when operating in monitor mode, the system may receive CTS packets with a 10-byte payload requiring 6 bytes of header padding after the RXD buffer. If the RXD is only in the first linear buffer and `skb pull()` is used to pull the buffer size `RXD-size+6` bytes, it triggers a kernel BUG. This occurs because the operation may attempt to access a non-linear buffer, leading to a system crash and denial of service.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
