In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Check the return value of ofpropertyreadstringindex()
Somewhen between 6.10 and 6.11 the driver started to crash on my MacBookPro14,3. The property doesn't exist and 'tmp' remains uninitialized, so we pass a random pointer to devm_kstrdup().
The crash I am getting looks like this:
