Description

Two memory leaks in the mwifiex_pcie_init_evt_ring() function in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures, aka CID-d10dcb615c8e.
Two memory leak flaws were found in the Linux kernel's mwifiex_pcie_init_evt_ring() function. A local attacker, able to reload the kernel module or hotplug Marvell WiFi hardware using this driver, can cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering mwifiex_map_pci_memory() failures.
