A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through 5.19.14 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and potentially execute code.
A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and potentially execute code.
CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.8. CVSS Attack Vector: adjacent_network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
The following example demonstrates the weakness.
}free(buf3R2);The following code illustrates a use after free error:
}free(ptr);logError("operation aborted before commit", ptr);When an error occurs, the pointer is immediately freed. However, this pointer is later incorrectly used in the logError function.
