A security flaw was discovered in the nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3. This function does not check whether the required attributes are present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash.
Products | Ubuntu_linux, Debian_linux, Linux_kernel |
Type | NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) |
First patch | - None (likely due to unavailable code) |
