Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow<br />
<br />
Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in<br />
&#39;mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()&#39;. The variable &#39;dma_len&#39; in the URB packet<br />
could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of<br />
&#39;seg_len&#39; in &#39;mt7601u_rx_process_seg()&#39;. This underflow subsequently<br />
causes the &#39;bad_frame&#39; checks in &#39;mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()&#39; to be<br />
bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer &#39;p&#39;, which<br />
is a null pointer.<br />
<br />
Ensure that &#39;dma_len&#39; is greater than &#39;min_seg_len&#39;.<br />
<br />
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.<br />
