FKIE_CVE-2024-49937
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-10-21 18:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 08:00
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: Set correct chandef when starting CAC
When starting CAC in a mode other than AP mode, it return a
"WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 63 at cfg80211_chandef_dfs_usable+0x20/0xaf [cfg80211]"
caused by the chandef.chan being null at the end of CAC.
Solution: Ensure the channel definition is set for the different modes
when starting CAC to avoid getting a NULL 'chan' at the end of CAC.
