7th percentile - higher than 7% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel's mac80211 subsystem, the scan elements length (scan_ies_len) does not account for the HE 6 GHz Band Capability element, which can lead to failure in building probe requests and trigger a WARN_ON during scanning.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to kernel warnings and incorrect network scanning behavior, which could be exploited to disrupt services.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that adds the size of the HE 6 GHz element to scan_ies_len.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: add HE 6 GHz capability in the scan elems len The HE 6 GHz Band Capability element is in the probe request for every band if 6 GHz is supported, so add the size to scan_ies_len. Otherwise, building probe request elements can fail, triggering the WARN_ON in __ieee80211_start_scan().
