In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't set the MFP flag for the GTK
The firmware doesn't need the MFP flag for the GTK, it can even make the
firmware crash. in case the AP is configured with: group cipher TKIP and
MFPC. We would send the GTK with cipher = TKIP and MFP which is of course
not possible.
CVE-2024-27434 is a flaw in the Linux kernel’s iwlwifi driver related to handling Management Frame Protection (MFP) in certain Wi-Fi configurations. When connecting to an access point using TKIP as the group cipher, the driver incorrectly applies the MFP flag to the Group Temporal Key (GTK), which is not supported in this context. This can result in firmware crashes and instability. The issue has been fixed by ensuring the driver does not set the MFP flag for incompatible group ciphers like TKIP. Updating to a patched kernel version is recommended to resolve this vulnerability.
