AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented resolving this vulnerability in the affected Linux kernel versions. Users should update to patched kernel versions to remediate this issue. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation requires applying the updated kernel. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mt76 wifi driver (mt7915) involves improper unlinking of TWT flows if the MCU rejects the agreement. This can lead to corruption of the twt_list and dangling entries, potentially causing system instability or denial of service. The issue affects specific linux-hwe-edge kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity.
