Summary
CVE-2024-56663 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.76.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: nl80211: fix NL80211ATTRMLOLINKID off-by-one

Since the netlink attribute range validation provides inclusive checking, the max of attribute NL80211ATTRMLOLINKID should be IEEE80211MLDMAXNUMLINKS - 1 otherwise causing an off-by-one.

One crash stack for demonstration:
