CVE-2023-54036

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Wi-Fi driver for certain Realtek chips. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a system to run out of memory, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). The issue occurs because the driver does not correctly free memory associated with Card-to-Host (C2H) messages, which are generated during normal operation, especially with active Bluetooth connections or Wi-Fi transmission rate changes. This continuous memory consumption can eventually make the system unstable or unresponsive.
