In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7915: guard HE capability lookups

mt7915mcubsshetlv() and mt7915mcustabfertlv() both run after checking HE support, then dereference the HE PHY capability returned by mt76connacgethephycap(). That helper can return NULL when no capability entry matches the vif type.

Fetch the capability before appending the TLV and skip the HE-specific setup when no matching capability is available.
