Description Prasad Pandit 2013-11-22 12:24:09 UTC

Linux kernel built with the Marvell 8xxx Libertas WLAN driver support
(CONFIG_LIBERTAS) is vulnerable to an invalid pointer dereference flaw. It could 
occur while writing to a file under debugfs.

A privileged user could use this flaw to crash the system resulting in DoS.

Upstream fix:
-------------
  -> https://git.kernel.org/linus/a497e47d4aec37aaf8f13509f3ef3d1f6a717d88
