Summary

The iwlwifi firmware parser improperly checked aligned TLV length, potentially leading to length underflow with malformed data. Validation was added to avoid potential out-of-bounds reads.

Risk Assessment

Malformed firmware image could cause system crash or memory disclosure.

Recommendation

Update the kernel to protect against attacks using malicious firmware.
