Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.61
Description:
The issue concerns the Linux kernel, specifically the wifi mac80211 component. It involves not passing a stopped vif to the driver in the
get txpower function to avoid potentially crashing the driver due to uninitialized private data.Recommendations:
For versions prior to 6.6.61, update to version 6.6.61 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the wifi functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable
mac80211 component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the get txpower function in the affected wifi driver until the issue is resolved.Exploit
