AI-suggested

The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel. Users should update to a kernel version that includes the fix identified by the commits listed in establishedFacts.fixedVersions. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patch.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver was addressed by adding a bounds check on the TID value received from firmware. The flaw involved using a firmware-controlled TID value as an array index without validation, which could lead to out-of-bounds access.
