CVE-2022-50533
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 6.0-6.0.15, 6.0.16-6.0.*, 6.1.0-6.1.1, 6.1.2-6.1.* - Null Pointer Dereference in WiFi mac80211 MLME
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: mlme: fix null-ptr deref on failed assoc If association to an AP without a link 0 fails, then we crash in tracing because it assumes that either ap_mld_addr or link 0 BSS is valid, since we clear sdata->vif.valid_links and then don't add the ap_mld_addr to the struct. Since we clear also sdata->vif.cfg.ap_addr, keep a local copy of it and assign it earlier, before clearing valid_links, to fix this.
