Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: brcmfmac: Check the return value of of_property_read_string_index()<br />
<br />
Somewhen between 6.10 and 6.11 the driver started to crash on my<br />
MacBookPro14,3. The property doesn&#39;t exist and &#39;tmp&#39; remains<br />
uninitialized, so we pass a random pointer to devm_kstrdup().<br />
<br />
The crash I am getting looks like this:<br />
<br />
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00007f033c669379<br />
PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode<br />
PF: error_code(0x0001) - permissions violation<br />
