CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the nl80211 subsystem, where improper handling of RNR data during MBSSID mismatch can lead to potential memory management issues. This flaw could be exploited to cause instability or crashes in systems utilizing wireless networking features. Organizations using Linux-based systems with wireless capabilities should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to maintain system integrity and performance.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: nl80211: free RNR data on MBSSID mismatch nl80211_parse_beacon() rejects EMA RNR data when there are fewer RNR entries than MBSSID entries. The rejected RNR allocation has not been attached to the beacon data yet, so free it before returning the error.
