CVE-2023-54029

Rejected assignment for MLO null-pointer dereference

Published Dec 24, 2025 · Updated Dec 24, 2025

CVE-2023-54029 is rejected and no longer identifies a confirmed vulnerability in the Linux Kernel iwlwifi wireless driver. The withdrawn record attributed an MLO-path NULL-pointer dereference to iwl_mvm_max_amsdu_size reading vif->bss_conf.chandef.chan->band even though bss_conf is unused for MLO. Because the Linux CNA withdrew the assignment, no affected versions, exploitation path, or security impact remains authoritative for this identifier.
