CVE-2025-71227

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: mac80211: don&amp;#39;t WARN for connections on invalid channels<br /> <br /> It&amp;#39;s not clear (to me) how exactly syzbot managed to hit this,<br /> but it seems conceivable that e.g. regulatory changed and has<br /> disabled a channel between scanning (channel is checked to be<br /> usable by cfg80211_get_ies_channel_number) and connecting on<br /> the channel later.<br /> <br /> With one scenario that isn&amp;#39;t covered elsewhere described above,<br /> the warning isn&amp;#39;t good, replace it with a (more informative)<br /> error message.
