  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nwifi: rtw88: fix the 'para' buffer size to avoid reading out of bounds\nSet the size to 6 instead of 2, since 'para' array is passed to\n'rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(rtwdev, para[0], &para[1])', which reads\n5 bytes:\nvoid rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(struct rtw_dev *rtwdev, u8 op_code, u8 *data)\n{\n...\nSET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA1(h2c_pkt, *data);\nSET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA2(h2c_pkt, *(data + 1));\n...\nSET_BT_WIFI_CONTROL_DATA5(h2c_pkt, *(data + 4));\nDetected using the static analysis tool - Svace." ],
  "statement" : "The bug in the rtw88 driver causes an out-of-bounds read due to incorrect buffer size (para[2] instead of the required para[6]). Since the buffer is passed to rtw_fw_bt_wifi_control(), which accesses up to 5 additional bytes, this can lead to memory disclosure or a kernel crash. This issue can be triggered by local users with the ability to manipulate Bluetooth/Wi-Fi coexistence settings.",
