      <title>CVE-2025-38509 — wifi: mac80211: reject VHT opmode for unsupported channel widths</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38509</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wifi: mac80211: reject VHT opmode for unsupported channel widths&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;VHT operating mode notifications are not defined for channel widths
below 20 MHz. In particular, 5 MHz and 10 MHz are not valid under the
VHT specification and must be rejected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without this check, malformed notifications using these widths may
reach ieee80211_chan_width_to_rx_bw(), leading to a WARN_ON due to
invalid input. This issue was reported by syzbot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reject these unsupported widths early in sta_link_apply_parameters()
when opmode_notif is used. The accepted set includes 20, 40, 80, 160,
and 80+80 MHz, which are valid for VHT. While 320 MHz is not defined
for VHT, it is allowed to avoid rejecting HE or EHT clients that may
still send a VHT opmode notification.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
