Technical description

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

wifi: iwlwifi: fix debug actions order

The order of actions taken for debug was implemented incorrectly.

Now we implemented the dump split and do the FW reset only in the

middle of the dump (rather than the FW killing itself on error.)

As a result, some of the actions taken when applying the config

will now crash the device, so we need to fix the order.

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.
