In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211_hwsim: drop short frames While technically some control frames like ACK are shorter and end after Address 1, such frames shouldn't be forwarded through wmediumd or similar userspace, so require the full 3-address header to avoid accessing invalid memory if shorter frames are passed in.
Update Linux/Linux to 3beb97bed860d95b14ad23578ce8ddaea62023db if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanwifi: mac80211_hwsim: drop short frames affects Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Severity is unknown. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211_hwsim: drop short frames While technically some control frames like ACK are shorter and end after Address 1, such frames shouldn't be forwarded through wmediumd or similar userspace, so require the full 3-address header to avoid accessing invalid memory if shorter frames are passed in.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in generic. A unknown vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
