Key facts

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921s: fix slab-out-of-bounds access in sdio host SDIO may need addtional 511 bytes to align bus operation. If the tailroom of this skb is not big enough, we would access invalid memory region. For low level operation, increase skb size to keep valid memory access in SDIO host.
