Answer in brief
CVE-2024-49857 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: set the cipher for secured NDP ranging. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: set the cipher for secured NDP ranging The cipher pointer is not set, but is derefereced trying to set its content, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by pointing to the cipher parameter before dereferencing.
