CVE-2024-47715 Affecting kernel-modules-core package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules-core package and not the kernel-modules-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix oops on non-dbdc mt7986

mt7915_band_config() sets band_idx = 1 on the main phy for mt7986 with MT7975_ONE_ADIE or MT7976_ONE_ADIE.

Commit 0335c034e726 ("wifi: mt76: fix race condition related to checking tx queue fill status") introduced a dereference of the phys array indirectly indexed by band_idx via wcid->phy_idx in mt76_wcid_cleanup(). This caused the following Oops on affected mt7986 devices:

Fix by using mt76_dev_phy() which will map band_idx to the correct phy for all hardware combinations.
