In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ieee80211: validate MLE common info length
ieee80211_mle_common_size() uses the first common-info octet as the
common information length for all known MLE types. However,
ieee80211_mle_size_ok() only validates that octet for Basic, Probe
Request, and TDLS MLEs.
Reconfiguration MLEs also skipped the length octet when calculating the
minimum common size, and Priority Access MLEs skipped validation of the
advertised common information length.
Account for the Reconfiguration common-info length octet and validate
the advertised common information length for all known MLE types. Keep
unknown-type handling unchanged.

A flaw was found in the Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) component of the Linux kernel. The ieee80211_mle_common_size() function uses the first common-info octet as the length for all known MLE (Management Link Establishment) types. However, the ieee80211_mle_size_ok() function did not properly validate this length for all MLE types, specifically for Reconfiguration and Priority Access MLEs. This oversight could allow a remote attacker to provide malformed Wi-Fi management frames, potentially leading to a denial of service or other unspecified impacts due to improper handling of data lengths.
