Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel's iwlwifi driver (mvm component, wifi subsystem) is affected in a range of versions starting from commit f444eb10d537 up to several fixed commits, and kernels from 3.9 are listed as affected. The source gives few details: it says the driver should not trust the firmware-reported length of a wowlan packet, which can lead to an underflow. No attacker requirements or impact are described. The source lists fixed kernel versions in the 6.1, 6.6, 6.12 and 6.18 series, so upgrade to a fixed stable release for your branch.
