Adjacent Wi-Fi disruption via misparsed session notifications
Published May 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Improper notification parsing in Linux 6.7 through 6.8.4 allows adjacent attackers to disrupt Wi-Fi connectivity via forced reassociation. iwl_mvm_rx_session_protect_notif selects the notification layout from the SESSION_PROTECTION_CMD version instead of SESSION_PROTECTION_NOTIF, so differing versions make mac_id bytes parse as link_id and update the wrong interface state. The attacker must be within wireless range; repeated deauthentication or a rogue access point can tear down associations and can panic hosts configured with panic_on_warn.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
