Summary

In the Linux kernel's mt76 (mt7925) WiFi driver, mt76_connac_get_he_phy_cap can theoretically return NULL, and the cap pointer is dereferenced without a check, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

Risk Assessment

This can cause a kernel panic under certain conditions, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

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