CVE-2024-26694
HIGHLinux Kernel 6.4-6.6.17, 6.7.0-6.7.5 - Use-After-Free in iwlwifi TLV PC Register Data Handling
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: fix double-free bug The storage for the TLV PC register data wasn't done like all the other storage in the drv->fw area, which is cleared at the end of deallocation. Therefore, the freeing must also be done differently, explicitly NULL'ing it out after the free, since otherwise there's a nasty double-free bug here if a file fails to load after this has been parsed, and we get another free later (e.g. because no other file exists.) Fix that by adding the missing NULL assignment.
