{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53679","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  wifi: mt7601u: fix an integer underflow  Fix an integer underflow that leads to a null pointer dereference in 'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()'. The variable 'dma_len' in the URB packet could be manipulated, which could trigger an integer underflow of 'seg_len' in 'mt7601u_rx_process_seg()'. This underflow subsequently causes the 'bad_frame' checks in 'mt7601u_rx_skb_from_seg()' to be bypassed, eventually leading to a dereference of the pointer 'p', which is a null pointer.  Ensure that 'dma_len' is greater than 'min_seg_len'.  Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
