Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: avoid NULL pointer dereference<br /> <br /> iwl_mvm_tx_skb_sta() and iwl_mvm_tx_mpdu() verify that the mvmvsta<br /> pointer is not NULL.<br /> It retrieves this pointer using iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211, which is<br /> dereferencing the ieee80211_sta pointer.<br /> If sta is NULL, iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211 will dereference a NULL<br /> pointer.<br /> Fix this by checking the sta pointer before retrieving the mvmsta<br /> from it. If sta is not NULL, then mvmsta isn&amp;#39;t either.
