DescriptionNVD

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

wifi: iwlwifi: fix a memory corruption

iwl_fw_ini_trigger_tlv::data is a pointer to a __le32, which means that if we copy to iwl_fw_ini_trigger_tlv::data + offset while offset is in bytes, we'll write past the buffer.
