Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: free RNR data on MBSSID mismatch
nl80211_parse_beacon() rejects EMA RNR data when there are fewer RNR
entries than MBSSID entries.
The rejected RNR allocation has not been attached to the beacon data yet,
so free it before returning the error.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Wi-Fi subsystem (nl80211). When processing beacon frames, the nl80211_parse_beacon() function may fail to properly free allocated RNR (Reduced Neighbor Report) data if there is a mismatch in the number of RNR and MBSSID (Multiple Basic Service Set Identifier) entries. This improper memory handling could lead to a memory leak, potentially allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
Отчет
This issue affects nl80211 beacon parsing with EMA MBSSID and RNR data. When RNR entries are fewer than MBSSID entries, the rejected RNR allocation is not freed before returning the error. Systems not using nl80211 beacon parsing are not affected.
