CVE-2024-53055 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver related to 6 GHz scan construction. The issue occurs when more than 255 colocated access points (APs) are found during 2.4/5 GHz scanning, causing an infinite loop due to an 8-bit loop variable overflow. This flaw can lead to a denial of service by causing the scanning process to hang indefinitely. The vulnerability has been fixed by changing the loop variable to a 32-bit type and adjusting the code scope accordingly.
