A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
