Vulnerability identifier: #VU91554

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26693

CWE-ID: CWE-665

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within the iwl_mvm_is_dup() function in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c, within the iwl_mvm_sta_state_notexist_to_none() function in drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/mac80211.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
