Summary

In the Linux kernel mt76 WiFi driver (mt7996 model), the mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap() function can theoretically return NULL, and the code does not check the cap pointer before dereferencing it, which can lead to a crash.

Risk Assessment

NULL pointer dereference can cause system crash or driver hang, leading to loss of WiFi connectivity and potential DoS attack.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that checks the cap pointer before dereferencing it.
