NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by RHEL.

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

wifi: ath11k: fix NULL dereference in ath11k_qmi_m3_load()

If ab->fw.m3_data points to data, then fw pointer remains null. Further, if m3_mem is not allocated, then fw is dereferenced to be passed to ath11k_err function.

Replace fw->size by m3_len.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
