Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.12.12/6.13.1. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the component mvm. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: avoid NULL pointer dereference When iterating over the links of a vif, we need to make sure that the pointer is valid (in other words - that the link exists) before dereferncing it. Use for_each_vif_active_link that also does the check.

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-58062 since 03/06/2025. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
