  "details" : [ "A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Intel iwlwifi wireless driver in the Linux kernel. When using Multi-Link Operation (MLO) mode, the iwl_mvm_max_amsdu_size() function incorrectly accesses vif->bss_conf.chandef.chan->band, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference because bss_conf is not used in MLO configurations." ],
  "statement" : "This vulnerability affects systems with Intel wireless adapters using MLO (Wi-Fi 7) features. Exploitation causes a kernel crash but requires local access and specific MLO wireless configuration. The issue is limited to newer hardware supporting Multi-Link Operation and does not affect standard wireless configurations.",
