Seems that on both locations is older version of sdsd8997_combo_v4.bin firmware, not the latest one. On both location is available just version 16.68.1.p179. But we have newer version 16.68.1.p197. Could you please recheck it?

According to publicly available information, firmware for these W8xxx Marvell wifi chips is vulnerable to security issue CVE-2019-6496 [1]. Are you able to update firmwares to the last versions and give us some information which (old) firmware versions are affected by that security issue? So Linux distribution would know if they are distributing older vulnerable firmwares and should push security fixes with new firmware versions.

Please consider extending kernel driver to load firmware from filename sdsd8997_combo_v4.bin which is already stored in linux-firmware repository. Also this is name which is used by marvell (out-of-tree) kernel driver mlan.ko/sd8997.ko.

Hi Pali, Thanks for this notice. We will try to push the new firmware and also, fix the naming problem. Regards, Ganapathi
