AI-suggested
A patch addressing this vulnerability is available and should be applied. The fix corrects the detection of the proper wed reference used in driver callbacks to prevent the kernel crash. Users should update to the fixed Linux kernel versions as per the vendor advisory.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mt76 wireless driver (specifically the wed callbacks for MT7996 devices) could cause a kernel crash due to improper handling of wed references when using wed_hif2 devices, such as on 6GHz links. This flaw has been resolved in updated Linux kernel versions. The issue could lead to a denial of service via a kernel oops. A fix is available and should be applied to affected systems.
