Description Gianluca Gabrielli 2021-08-10 15:18:54 UTC 
The mac80211 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 5.12.13, when a device
supporting only 5 GHz is used, allows attackers to cause a denial of service
(NULL pointer dereference in the radiotap parser) by injecting a frame with
802.11a rates.

Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2021-08-10 15:27:21 UTC 
The bug seems to have been introduced by the commit cb17ed29a7a5, and only SLE15-SP3 contains it.  Older releases are unaffected.

The fix was backported to SLE15-SP3 branch.

Reassigned back to security team.
