{"id":"CVE-2024-40929","summary":"wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: check n_ssids before accessing the ssids","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlwifi: mvm: check n_ssids before accessing the ssids\n\nIn some versions of cfg80211, the ssids poinet might be a valid one even\nthough n_ssids is 0. Accessing the pointer in this case will cuase an\nout-of-bound access. Fix this by checking n_ssids first.","modified":"2026-04-02T12:17:21.062599Z","published":"2024-07-12T12:25:08.434Z","related":["ALSA-2024:5928","ALSA-2024:7000","ALSA-2024:7001","SUSE-SU-2024:2892-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2894-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2901-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2939-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2940-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2947-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3194-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3195-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3383-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20044-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20047-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/40xxx/CVE-2024-40929.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/29a18d56bd64b95bd10bda4afda512558471382a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c4771091ea8016c8601399078916f722dd8833b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60d62757df30b74bf397a2847a6db7385c6ee281"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/62e007bdeb91c6879a4652c3426aef1cd9d2937b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9e719ae3abad60e245ce248ba3f08148f375a614"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f777792952d03bbaf8329fdfa99393a5a33e2640"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/40xxx/CVE-2024-40929.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-40929"},{"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":"c1a7515393e403758a684fd0a2372af466675b15"},{"fixed":"3c4771091ea8016c8601399078916f722dd8833b"},{"fixed":"f777792952d03bbaf8329fdfa99393a5a33e2640"},{"fixed":"9e719ae3abad60e245ce248ba3f08148f375a614"},{"fixed":"29a18d56bd64b95bd10bda4afda512558471382a"},{"fixed":"62e007bdeb91c6879a4652c3426aef1cd9d2937b"},{"fixed":"60d62757df30b74bf397a2847a6db7385c6ee281"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-40929.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
