What is CVE-2022-50413?

A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the mac80211 subsystem of the Linux kernel that could potentially lead to information leaks or denial of service situations. When handling association data related to wireless access points, the memory could be incorrectly accessed after it has been freed. This vulnerability necessitates the use of alternative mechanisms for managing access point addresses to prevent unintended consequences. It is crucial for system administrators and developers to apply the latest patches to mitigate this risk and ensure system integrity.
