Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath9k_htc: Abort software beacon handling if disabled A malicious USB device can send a WMI_SWBA_EVENTID event from an ath9k_htc-managed device before beaconing has been enabled. This causes a device-by-zero error in the driver, leading to either a crash or an out of bounds read. Prevent this by aborting the handling in ath9k_htc_swba() if beacons are not enabled.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.0 < 5.4.295) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.239) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.186) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.142) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.94) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.34) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.15.3) • debian debian linux 11.0
