Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions 6.10 through 6.11
Description A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been identified, specifically in the brcmfmac driver. The issue arises when the of property read string index() function returns an uninitialized value, leading to a crash. This occurs because the property does not exist, causing a random pointer to be passed to devm kstrdup(). The crash results in a page fault error with a permissions violation.
Recommendations For Linux kernel versions 6.10 through 6.11, consider applying a patch that checks the return value of of property read string index() to prevent the crash. As a temporary workaround, disabling the brcmfmac driver may prevent the issue, but this is not a recommended long-term solution. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
