Summary

In the Linux kernel mt76 WiFi driver (connac subsystem), the mt76_connac_mcu_uni_bss_he_tlv() function can dereference a NULL pointer when mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap() returns NULL. There is no check of the cap pointer before dereferencing it.

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.
