Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: cfg80211: check A-MSDU format more carefully

If it looks like there's another subframe in the A-MSDU

but the header isn't fully there, we can end up reading

data out of bounds, only to discard later. Make this a

bit more careful and check if the subframe header can

even be present.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
