  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nmac80211: fix crash in ieee80211_chan_bw_change for AP_VLAN stations\nieee80211_chan_bw_change() iterates all stations and accesses\nlink->reserved.oper via sta->sdata->link[link_id]. For stations on\nAP_VLAN interfaces (e.g. 4addr WDS clients), sta->sdata points to\nthe VLAN sdata, whose link never participates in chanctx reservations.\nThis leaves link->reserved.oper zero-initialized with chan == NULL,\ncausing a NULL pointer dereference in __ieee80211_sta_cap_rx_bw()\nwhen accessing chandef->chan->band during CSA.\nResolve the VLAN sdata to its parent AP sdata using get_bss_sdata()\nbefore accessing link data.\n[also change sta->sdata in ARRAY_SIZE even if it doesn't matter]", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 component. This vulnerability occurs when processing stations on AP_VLAN interfaces, such as 4-address Wireless Distribution System (WDS) clients. An attacker could trigger a null pointer dereference during Channel Switch Announcement (CSA) operations, leading to a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS)." ],
