Vulnerability identifier: #VU151115

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90374

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause an out-of-bounds memory access.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of an array index in the mt7996_mac_fill_rx RX handler when processing a received descriptor with a corrupt or reserved band index. A remote attacker can supply a received descriptor with a corrupt or reserved band index to cause an out-of-bounds memory access.
