Linux Driver



If you’re using your USB device in a virtual machine, see also Pitfalls Using USB Devices in Virtual Machines.

Target Devices

Intel graphics driver vulnerabilities patched this month affect multiple Intel processor generations up to the 10th generation, codenamed Comet Lake, and impact several Windows and Linux driver.

Driver Information

Developed internally by Realtek, and then patched by open community members.

This drivers is not mainlined (might never will be, from the look of it), so you’ll be loading a self-compiled out-of-tree kernel module. If you are running on a system using UEFISecure Boot, you may need to either disable Secure Boot or sign the kernel module before you can load it. (We won’t cover that here.)

To check the status of Secure Boot, run

Check Secure Boot Status

Output will be one of the following:

  • SecureBoot enabled — using UEFI, Secure Boot enabled
  • SecureBoot disabled — using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled
  • EFI variables are not supported on this system — not using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled

Driver Installation

Kali Linux

Driver

For those who are running Kali Linux ARM Image on Raspberry Pi, the driver should be installed already.

For x86 users, install package realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms.

Install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
2
wget https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/contrib/r/realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms/realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms_5.6.4.2~git20210118-0kali1_all.deb
sudo apt install./realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms_5.6.4.2~git20210118-0kali1_all.deb

Although not tested, some distros should be able to perform the whole process in GUI — download deb package through browser and double-click to install.

Fedora

Install Build Dependencies

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

Install aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
2
sudo yum install git dkms kernel-devel make

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

Install aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

Your miles may vary on distros other than Kali, which is specifically tweaked for pentesting.
