Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: don't return unset power in ieee80211_get_tx_power()

We can get a UBSAN warning if ieee80211_get_tx_power() returns the
INT_MIN value mac80211 internally uses for "unset power level".

UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in net/wireless/nl80211.c:3816:5

In this case, simply return an error instead, to indicate
that no data is available.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: mac80211: no devolver energía no configurada en ieee80211_get_tx_power(). Podemos obtener una advertencia de UBSAN si ieee80211_get_tx_power() devuelve el valor INT_MIN que mac80211 usa internamente para "nivel de energía no configurada".
