Descriptions

Various refcounting bugs in the multi-BSS handling in the mac80211 stack in the Linux kernel 5.1 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by local attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to trigger use-after-free conditions to potentially execute code.

Varios errores de recuento en el manejo de multi-BSS en la pila mac80211 en el kernel de Linux versiones 5.1 hasta 5.19.14, podrían ser usados por atacantes locales (capaces de inyectar tramas WLAN) para desencadenar condiciones de uso de memoria previamente liberada para potencialmente ejecutar código

A use-after-free flaw was found in bss_ref_get in the net/wireless/scan.c in the Linux kernel. This issue can lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
