CVE-2024-58015: wifi: ath12k: Fix for out-of bound access error

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: Fix for out-of bound access error Selfgen stats are placed in a buffer using print_array_to_buf_index() function. Array length parameter passed to the function is too big, resulting in possible out-of bound memory error. Decreasing buffer size by one fixes faulty upper bound of passed array. Discovered in coverity scan, CID 1600742 and CID 1600758

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2024-58015 is a Linux kernel ath12k Wi-Fi driver bug where self-generated statistics can be written with an incorrect upper bound, creating possible out-of-bounds memory access. The public record does not provide CVSS, impact detail, or evidence of exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat as a targeted kernel hygiene item, not an emergency, unless your fleet depends on ath12k Wi-Fi. Prioritize affected laptops, embedded devices, and wireless gateways during normal kernel patch cycles while waiting for vendor-specific severity guidance.

Technical view

The issue is in the Linux kernel ath12k wireless driver. print_array_to_buf_index() receives an array length that is too large when placing selfgen stats into a buffer. Kernel stable commits reduce the passed buffer size by one, correcting the upper bound. The issue was found by Coverity.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely on Linux systems using the ath12k Wi-Fi driver in affected kernel builds. The source bundle lists Linux kernel versions including 6.3, 6.13.3, and 6.14 as affected, but does not identify distributions, devices, or configurations.

Exploitation context

No cited source states active exploitation, public exploit availability, or a proven attack path. The CVE is not marked KEV. The available evidence describes a bounds error found by static analysis, not observed exploitation.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited to the CVE record and two Linux stable commit references. There is no CVSS, CWE, exploit narrative, or distro advisory in the supplied bundle. Avoid assuming remote reachability, privilege impact, or denial-of-service behavior without additional vendor analysis.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Linux kernel vendor guidance for fixed package availability.
  • Prioritize updates for systems using ath12k wireless hardware or modules.
  • Review kernel stable commits 8700c4bf and eb8c053 for patch provenance.
  • Use supported distribution kernels rather than custom unpatched builds.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory systems running Linux kernels listed as affected in the CVE data.
  • Check whether ath12k is present, loaded, or packaged on those systems.
  • Verify installed kernels include the referenced stable fixes.
  • Confirm distribution advisories map this CVE to your deployed kernel packages.
