wifi: mac80211: use safe list iteration in radar detect work
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.28% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Linux Linux 120149fb3ebcf674832ca3cafd32bedcdb686dde, 7577a4b8a10fab45a6ee2045ea038a5adadbb585, 887ece6c23b49d02a6678e7a8d5ad213d75883ce.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 120149fb3ebcf674832ca3cafd32bedcdb686dde, 7577a4b8a10fab45a6ee2045ea038a5adadbb585, 887ece6c23b49d02a6678e7a8d5ad213d75883ce or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: use safe list iteration in radar detect work The call to ieee80211_dfs_cac_cancel can cause the iterated chanctx to be freed and removed from the list. Guard against this to avoid a slab-use-after-free error.
