NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: rtw89: fw: scan offload prohibit all 6 GHz channel if no 6 GHz sband

We have some policy via BIOS to block uses of 6 GHz. In this case, 6 GHz sband will be NULL even if it is WiFi 7 chip. So, add NULL handling here to avoid crash.
