CVE-2021-47064 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mt76: fix potential DMA mapping leak With buf uninitialized in mt76_dma_tx_queue_skb_raw, its field skip_unmap could potentially inherit a non-zero value from stack garbage. If this happens, it will cause DMA mappings for MCU command frames to not be unmapped after completion. EPSS estimates a 0.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
