Threats tagged 'ghsa-7x7f-m8j9-p3cw'

A use-after-free vulnerability was identified and fixed in the Linux kernel's ath12k wireless driver. The flaw occurs in the function ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev(), where a pointer is freed and then subsequently accessed, leading to a read-after-free condition. This issue was resolved by reordering the pointer check to occur after the pointer is reassigned. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.8 CVSS v3.1 and affects local attackers with low complexity privileges. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
