Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's p54 Wi-Fi driver. The driver fails to verify that an entire interface record fits within the buffer boundaries when parsing EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) data. An attacker capable of attaching a crafted wireless device or supplying malformed data can exploit this condition to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read. This flaw can lead to sensitive information disclosure or cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-06 09:13:29 UTC

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

wifi: p54: require a full exp_if record in PDR_INTERFACE_LIST

The PDR_INTERFACE_LIST loop only checks that the record start is within
the entry before reading an entire struct exp_if from it. A truncated
trailing record makes the if_id/variant reads cross the entry boundary
into the heap beyond the EEPROM buffer (verified with a KASAN
reproducer of the loop). The variant also feeds the synth front-end
selection, so this is not only a leak.

Advance only while a full record still fits in the entry.
