Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the Linux kernel's wifi functionality, specifically with the cfg80211 module. A problem was introduced when validation was added to prevent connections to an Access Point (AP) that is currently in a channel switch process. This caused new connection failures because some APs, like the Asus RT-AC53 with firmware 3.0.0.4.380 10760-g21a5898, permanently advertise an extended channel switch announcement. The kernel now attempts to detect such situations to handle them appropriately.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
