Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: set the cipher for secured NDP ranging The cipher pointer is not set, but is derefereced trying to set its content, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by pointing to the cipher parameter before dereferencing.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
