What it is

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

wifi: rtl818x: rtl8187: Fix potential buffer underflow in rtl8187_rx_cb()

The rtl8187_rx_cb() calculates the rx descriptor header address

by subtracting its size from the skb tail pointer.

However, it does not validate if the received packet

(skb->len from urb->actual_length) is large enough to contain this

header.

If a truncated packet is received, this will lead to a buffer

underflow, reading memory before the start of the skb data area,

and causing a kernel panic.

Add length checks for both rtl8187 and rtl8187b descriptor headers

before attempting to access them, dropping the packet cleanly if the

check fails.
