NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-modules-usb package and not the kernel-uek-modules-usb package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: mac80211: don't allow injecting frames wider than the chanctx

Frames injected on a monitor interface can carry a radiotap field requesting a bandwidth, which mac80211 passes down to the driver regardless of the the actual operational bandwidth.

If the bandwidth requested is too wide, that triggers a warning in hwsim:

WARN_ON(hwsim_get_chanwidth(bw) > hwsim_get_chanwidth(confbw))

Drop such frames entirely instead since they cannot be sent.
