CVE-2024-43848

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mac80211: fix TTLM teardown work

The worker calculates the wrong sdata pointer, so if it ever runs, it'll crash. Fix that.

This vulnerability is rated as Moderate because successful exploitation results in a kernel crash and local denial of service, without threatening system confidentiality or integrity. Triggering the condition requires active wireless hardware and specific connection teardown handling within the mac80211 subsystem. Standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments typically run in server or cloud environments without wireless interfaces, significantly constraining potential exposure.
