Description

In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c allows an attacker (who can connect a crafted USB device) to cause a denial of service (skb_over_panic).
A denial of service flaw was found in mwifiex_usb_recv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c in the usb subsystem of the Linux kernel. This is due to a missing clean-up for a malfunctioning usb device with an unknown recv_type.
