Linux kernel Wi‑Fi code may emit unnecessary warnings

CVE-2023-53588 · published 1 year ago
Summary

The Linux kernel’s Wi‑Fi component could produce warning messages when it checks for a device that isn’t yet active. This does not affect the core operation of the system, but the extra warnings can clutter logs and make troubleshooting harder. Updating to the latest kernel version provided by your Linux distribution will remove the issue.

What to do
  • Update debian rootio-linux to version 5.10.247-1.root.io.42.
  • Update debian rootio-linux to version 5.10.251-1.root.io.61.
  • Update debian linux to version 6.1.55-1.
  • Update debian linux to version 6.5.6-1.
  • Update linux to version 5.15.0-198.208.aikido.116.
  • Update rootio-linux to version 5.15.0-198.208.aikido.116.
  • Update linux kernel to version 6.5.5.
  • Update linux to version 5.15.0-202.212.aikido.118.
  • Update rootio-linux to version 5.15.0-202.212.aikido.118.

Original advisory text
CVE-2023-53588 in linux - Patched by Root
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: check for station first in client probe When probing a client, first check if we have it, and then check for the channel context, otherwise you can trigger the warning there easily by probing when the AP isn't even started yet. Since a client existing means the AP is also operating, we can then keep the warning. Also simplify the moved code a bit.
