Summary

In the Linux kernel's cfg80211 subsystem, there is a lack of validation for preamble values in PMSR FTM requests. Out-of-range values are accepted and used in the capability bit test, potentially leading to incorrect behavior.

Risk Assessment

Invalid values could lead to errors in PMSR functionality, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate system behavior.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix that rejects out-of-range values before use.
