Stacktrace locates it in\nath5k_eeprom_convert_pcal_info_5111.\nWhen none of the curve is selected in the loop, idx can go\nup to AR5K_EEPROM_N_PD_CURVES. The line makes pd out of bound.\npd = &chinfo[pier].pd_curves[idx];\n\nThere are many OOB writes using pd later in the code. So I\nadded a sanity check for idx. Checks for other loops involving\nAR5K_EEPROM_N_PD_CURVES are not needed as the loop index is not\nused outside the loops.\n\nThe patch is NOT tested with real device.\n\nThe following is the fuzzing report\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k]\nWrite of size 1 at addr ffff8880174a4d60 by task modprobe/214\n\nCPU: 0 PID: 214 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 5.6.0 #1\nCall Trace:\n dump_stack+0x76/0xa0\n print_address_description.constprop.0+0x16/0x200\n ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k]\n ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k]\n __kasan_report.cold+0x37/0x7c\n ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k]\n kasan_report+0xe/0x20\n ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k]\n ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20\n ? ath5k_eeprom_init_11a_pcal_freq+0xbc0/0xbc0 [ath5k]\n ? ath5k_pci_eeprom_read+0x228/0x3c0 [ath5k]\n ath5k_eeprom_init+0x2513/0x6290 [ath5k]\n ? ath5k_eeprom_init_11a_pcal_freq+0xbc0/0xbc0 [ath5k]\n ? usleep_range+0xb8/0x100\n ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20\n ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_2413+0x2f20/0x2f20 [ath5k]\n ath5k_hw_init+0xb60/0x1970 [ath5k]\n ath5k_init_ah+0x6fe/0x2530 [ath5k]\n ? kasprintf+0xa6/0xe0\n ? ath5k_stop+0x140/0x140 [ath5k]\n ? _dev_notice+0xf6/0xf6\n ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20\n ath5k_pci_probe.cold+0x29a/0x3d6 [ath5k]\n ? ath5k_pci_eeprom_read+0x3c0/0x3c0 [ath5k]\n ? mutex_lock+0x89/0xd0\n ? ath5k_pci_eeprom_read+0x3c0/0x3c0 [ath5k]\n local_pci_probe+0xd3/0x160\n pci_device_probe+0x23f/0x3e0\n ? pci_device_remove+0x280/0x280\n ? pci_device_remove+0x280/0x280\n really_probe+0x209/0x5d0","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":7.1},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25efc5d03455c3839249bc77fce5e29ecb54677e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/564d4eceb97eaf381dd6ef6470b06377bb50c95a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9d7d83d0399e23d66fd431b553842a84ac10398f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be2f81024e7981565d90a4c9ca3067d11b6bca7f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c4e2f577271e158d87a916afb4e87415a88ce856"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:59:48.811064707+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-47633","score":0.00263,"percentile":0.18243,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
