With a limit of 1000 scan\nresults, a frame size upper bound of 4096 (really it's\nmore like ~2300) and a TBTT entry size of at least 11,\nwe get an upper bound for the number of ~372k, well in\nthe bounds of a u32."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/scan.c"],"versions":[{"version":"eae94cf82d7456b57fa9fd55c1edb8a726dcc19c","lessThan":"2ac15e5a8f42fed5d90ed9e1197600913678c50f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"eae94cf82d7456b57fa9fd55c1edb8a726dcc19c","lessThan":"cde8a7eb5c6762264ff0f4433358e0a0d250c875","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"eae94cf82d7456b57fa9fd55c1edb8a726dcc19c","lessThan":"fc621e7a043de346c33bd7ae7e2e0c651d6152ef","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"eae94cf82d7456b57fa9fd55c1edb8a726dcc19c","lessThan":"2ccd5badadab2d586e91546bf5af3deda07fef1f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"eae94cf82d7456b57fa9fd55c1edb8a726dcc19c","lessThan":"7245012f0f496162dd95d888ed2ceb5a35170f1a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/scan.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.11","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.11","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.171","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.116","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.60","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11.7","lessThanOrEqual":"6.11.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.11","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.171"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.116"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.60"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.11.7"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.12"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ac15e5a8f42fed5d90ed9e1197600913678c50f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cde8a7eb5c6762264ff0f4433358e0a0d250c875"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc621e7a043de346c33bd7ae7e2e0c651d6152ef"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ccd5badadab2d586e91546bf5af3deda07fef1f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7245012f0f496162dd95d888ed2ceb5a35170f1a"}],"title":"wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix 6 GHz scan construction","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"scope":"UNCHANGED","version":"3.1","baseScore":5.5,"attackVector":"LOCAL","baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","integrityImpact":"NONE","userInteraction":"NONE","attackComplexity":"LOW","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","confidentialityImpact":"NONE"}},{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2024-53055","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2025-10-01T20:13:04.772950Z"}}}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","type":"CWE","cweId":"CWE-835","description":"CWE-835 Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')"}]}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2025-10-01T20:17:18.131Z"}},{"title":"CVE Program Container","references":[{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}],"providerMetadata":{"orgId":"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108","shortName":"CVE","dateUpdated":"2025-11-03T22:28:49.040Z"}}]}}
