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

Description An issue exists in the iwlwifi wireless driver within the mvm module. The driver sends the MCC ALLOWED AP TYPE CMD command, which is related to 6E support, even when the device does not support 6E. This occurs because some firmware mistakenly advertises support for this command on unsupported hardware, such as the AX201, leading to a firmware crash.

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