Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Redpine Signals Inc. (rsi) wireless driver. An incorrect memory offset calculation during encryption key removal causes data to be written past the allocated buffer, corrupting kernel heap memory. This issue is triggered during routine wireless events such as disconnecting, roaming, or interface teardown, which can lead to system instability and a Denial of Service (DoS).
