In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: guard against invalid STA ID on removal Guard against invalid station IDs in iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_id as that would result in out-of-bounds array accesses. This prevents issues should the driver get into a bad state during error handling. An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Wireless WiFi Link Next-Gen AGN driver in how a user removes it. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
