{"id":"CVE-2023-53588","summary":"wifi: mac80211: check for station first in client probe","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: mac80211: check for station first in client probe\n\nWhen probing a client, first check if we have it, and then\ncheck for the channel context, otherwise you can trigger\nthe warning there easily by probing when the AP isn't even\nstarted yet. Since a client existing means the AP is also\noperating, we can then keep the warning.\n\nAlso simplify the moved code a bit.","modified":"2026-04-02T09:44:33.824285Z","published":"2025-10-04T15:44:03.354Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2025:21040-1","SUSE-SU-2025:21052-1","SUSE-SU-2025:21056-1","SUSE-SU-2025:21064-1","SUSE-SU-2025:4057-1","SUSE-SU-2025:4128-1","SUSE-SU-2025:4132-1","SUSE-SU-2025:4140-1","SUSE-SU-2025:4141-1","SUSE-SU-2025:4301-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/53xxx/CVE-2023-53588.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/67dfa589aa8806c7959cbca2f4613b8d41c75a06"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7dce2deb0b03aaf46c87ceedea81ef4153e26c40"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e1cda5cf07f848e6b50b4e5e7761ffbce905a3d"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/53xxx/CVE-2023-53588.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-53588"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"55de908ab292c03f1eb280f51170ddb9c6b57e31"},{"fixed":"7e1cda5cf07f848e6b50b4e5e7761ffbce905a3d"},{"fixed":"7dce2deb0b03aaf46c87ceedea81ef4153e26c40"},{"fixed":"67dfa589aa8806c7959cbca2f4613b8d41c75a06"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-53588.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
