CVSS 3.1
7.1 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-40929
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: check n_ssids before accessing the ssids
In some versions of cfg80211, the ssids poinet might be a valid one even
though n_ssids is 0. Accessing the pointer in this case will cuase an
out-of-bound access. Fix this by checking n_ssids first.
