CVE-2025-21750CVE-2025-21750
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Check the return value of of_property_read_string_index()
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:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00007f033c669379
PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
PF: error_code(0x0001) - permissions violation
