Subject: CVE-2023-53679: wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow
Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in
'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()'. The variable 'dma_len' in the URB packet
could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of
'seg_len' in 'mt7601u_rx_process_seg()'. This underflow subsequently
causes the 'bad_frame' checks in 'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()' to be
bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer 'p', which
is a null pointer.
Ensure that 'dma_len' is greater than 'min_seg_len'.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
