AnalysisCVE.org

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

wifi: mac80211: reject invalid 320 MHz CSA bandwidth

The HT/VHT channel definition validator can receive a 320 MHz bandwidth indication from a received CSA frame on a non-6 GHz link. It warns for this unsupported width but continues with an uninitialized vht_operation.chan_width, which is then read by ieee80211_chandef_vht_oper(). With panic_on_warn enabled, this lets a received frame panic the kernel.

Reject the channel definition before entering the VHT operation conversion. This preserves the existing CSA fallback while avoiding both the warning and the uninitialized read.

What every action level means
Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.
Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.
This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.
This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.
Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
