Description

A list management bug in BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to corrupt a linked list and, in turn, potentially execute code. A list corruption flaw was found in cfg80211_add_nontrans_list in the net/wireless/scan.c function in the Linux kernel. This flaw could lead to a denial of service.
