Summary

In the Linux kernel, the iwlwifi driver has a vulnerability leading to memory corruption. The issue is copying data to the data pointer in the iwl_fw_ini_trigger_tlv structure with an offset in bytes, which can write past the buffer.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to unexpected system behavior, crashes, or potentially privilege escalation in environments with access to the WiFi interface.
