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

wifi: mac80211: use safe list iteration in radar detect work

The call to ieee80211dfscaccancel can cause the iterated chanctx to be freed and removed from the list. Guard against this to avoid a slab-use-after-free error.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wifi implementation wherein an attacker within wireless range is able to abuse a logic flaw in the wifi implementation by reassembling packets from multiple fragments under different keys and they would be treated as valid. This allows an attacker to send a fragment under an incorrect key and be treated as a valid fragment under the new key.
