Doc Text:	CVE-2024-27410 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s Wi-Fi subsystem, affecting the nl80211 interface. The issue occurs when a mesh ID is set while simultaneously switching the interface to mesh mode, which can overwrite critical data in the wireless device's configuration. This can lead to unexpected behavior or instability. The issue has been resolved by preventing interface type changes during mesh ID updates. Users should update their kernel to a patched version to address this issue and ensure proper system functionality.	Story Points:	---
