Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2025-22032)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2025-22032). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via mt792x_rx_get_wcid. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.12.23, 6.13.11, 6.14.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix kernel panic due to null pointer dereference

Address a kernel panic caused by a null pointer dereference in the
mt792x_rx_get_wcid function. The issue arises because the deflink structure
is not properly initialized with the sta context. This patch ensures that the
deflink structure is correctly linked to the sta context, preventing the
null pointer dereference.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 6.12.23, 6.13.11, 6.14.2
```
ステージング環境で 6.12.23, 6.13.11, 6.14.2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
