Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: avoid kernel-infoleak from struct iw_point struct iw_point has a 32bit hole on 64bit arches. struct iw_point { void __user *pointer; /* Pointer to the data (in user space) */ __u16 length; /* number of fields or size in bytes */ __u16 flags; /* Optional params */ }; Make sure to zero the structure to avoid disclosing 32bits of kernel data to user space.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.27 < 5.10.248) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.198) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.161) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.121) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.66) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.6) • linux linux kernel 6.19
