NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_78-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_78-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: iwlwifi: fix 22000 series SMEM parsing

If the firmware were to report three LMACs (which doesn't exist in hardware) then using "fwrt->smem_cfg.lmac[2]" is an overrun of the array. Reject such and use IWL_FW_CHECK instead of WARN_ON in this function.
