CVE-2024-47715 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

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: Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0000000000000024 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x0000000096000005 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 FSC = 0x05: level 1 translation fault Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000005 CM = 0, WnR = 0 user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000042545000 [0000000000000024] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000, pud=0000000000000000 Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: ... mt7915e mt76_connac_lib mt76 mac80211 cfg80211 ...

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
