In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Abort software beacon handling if disabled
A malicious USB device can send a WMISWBAEVENTID event from an ath9k_htc-managed device before beaconing has been enabled. This causes a device-by-zero error in the driver, leading to either a crash or an out of bounds read.
Prevent this by aborting the handling in ath9khtcswba() if beacons are not enabled.
