Details

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

wifi: brcmfmac: Check the return value of of_property_read_string_index()

Somewhen between 6.10 and 6.11 the driver started to crash on my MacBookPro14,3. The property doesn't exist and 'tmp' remains uninitialized, so we pass a random pointer to devm_kstrdup().

The crash I am getting looks like this:

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
