NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-modules-extra package and not the kernel-64k-modules-extra package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't set the MFP flag for the GTK

The firmware doesn't need the MFP flag for the GTK, it can even make the firmware crash. in case the AP is configured with: group cipher TKIP and MFPC. We would send the GTK with cipher = TKIP and MFP which is of course not possible.
