Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: Fix potential stack-out-of-bounds write in ath9k_wmi_rsp_callback()
Fix a stack-out-of-bounds write that occurs in a WMI response callback
function that is called after a timeout occurs in ath9k_wmi_cmd().
The callback writes to wmi->cmd_rsp_buf, a stack-allocated buffer that
could no longer be valid when a timeout occurs. Set wmi->last_seq_id to
0 when a timeout occurred.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
