CVE-2022-42722

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions 5.8 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16

Description The issue allows local attackers to inject WLAN frames into the mac80211 stack, potentially causing a NULL pointer dereference denial-of-service attack against the beacon protection of P2P devices. This could lead to a denial-of-service condition.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions 5.8 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16, update to version 5.19.16 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mac80211 stack to minimize the risk of exploitation.
