In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7925: ensure tx headroom in usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb
mt7925_usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb() pushes a TX descriptor and a USB
header onto every skb and assumes the headroom for them is already
there. That holds for locally generated traffic, where mac80211
reserves hw->extra_tx_headroom, but forwarded frames are sent through
ieee80211_8023_xmit(), which does not reserve it. Bridge a wired
interface to an mt7925u AP and the first forwarded frame that arrives
short panics the kernel:

Whether a given setup hits it depends on how much headroom the ingress
netdev leaves in its rx skbs. Reproduced on a Raspberry Pi 5 bridging
onboard ethernet to a Netgear A9000; originally reported on an MT7986
router running OpenWrt. Nick Morrow's testing on a Pi 4 (bcmgenet),
which leaves more headroom, helped narrow the trigger to the ingress
path.
The same bug was fixed on mt7921 by commit 98c4d0abf5c4 ("mt76:
mt7921: don't assume adequate headroom for SDIO headers"), but mt7925
was copied from mt7921 without the fix. Add the same guard here.
