CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mt76 driver for Wi-Fi devices can lead to potential NULL pointer dereferencing in the mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap function. This flaw may result in system crashes or unpredictable behavior when the driver attempts to access invalid memory. Linux system administrators and developers using affected Wi-Fi hardware should prioritize patching to mitigate potential instability in their environments.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: check pointer returned by mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap() mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap routine can theoretically return NULL so check cap pointer before dereferencing it.
