5.5

Medium

VectorAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A possible NULL pointer dereference in the wfx set mfp ap() function has been resolved. The ieee80211 beacon get() function can return NULL, and wfx set mfp ap() should check the return value before examining skb data. The function now returns an appropriate error code and propagates it to return from wfx start ap() as well.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
