Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wifi: mt76: mt7925 driver. When handling Multi-Link Operation (MLO) stations, the mt7925_sta_set_decap_offload() function can attempt to dereference a null pointer if a station link is not properly associated with a Virtual Interface (VIF) link. This can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for an affected system.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate because exploitation requires the presence of specific MediaTek MT7925 wireless hardware and results solely in a denial of service through a kernel crash, without compromising system confidentiality or integrity. Typical enterprise server deployments do not utilize Wi-Fi adapters, substantially reducing exposure across standard environments. Furthermore, triggering the condition requires Multi-Link Operation station configurations on affected devices.
