**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A bounds checker error in the nl80211 parse sched scan function has been resolved. The issue is related to the channels array in the cfg80211 scan request, which has a counted by attribute pointing to the n channels variable. This attribute is used for bounds checking, and if not set before the array is filled, it can cause the bounds sanitizer to issue a warning or a kernel panic if CONFIG UBSAN TRAP is set. The patch sets the size of allocated memory as the initial value for n channels and updates it with the actual number of added elements after the array is filled. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
