Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-47738
low Nessus Plugin ID 228790
Language:
Synopsis
The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.Description
The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.- wifi: mac80211: don't use rate mask for offchannel TX either Like the commit ab9177d83c04 (wifi:
mac80211: don't use rate mask for scanning), ignore incorrect settings to avoid no supported rate warning reported by syzbot. The syzbot did bisect and found cause is commit 9df66d5b9f45 (cfg80211: fix default HE tx bitrate mask in 2G band), which however corrects bitmask of HE MCS and recognizes correctly settings of empty legacy rate plus HE MCS rate instead of returning -EINVAL. As suggestions [1], follow the change of SCAN TX to consider this case of offchannel TX as well.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
