**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 3.13.7 **Description** A race condition in the mac80211 subsystem allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via network traffic that improperly interacts with the WLAN STA PS STA state, also known as power-save mode. This issue is related to the sta info.c and tx.c files. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.13.7, update to version 3.13.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network traffic to minimize the risk of exploitation.
