Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-28 12:02:23 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: mt7996: Check phy before init msta_link in mt7996_mac_sta_add_links()

In order to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference in
mt7996_mac_sta_init_link routine, move the phy pointer check before
running mt7996_mac_sta_init_link() in mt7996_mac_sta_add_links routine.
