      "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: soluciona un problema de corrupci\u00f3n de memoria Unas pocas l\u00edneas arriba, se kzalloc()'ed espacio para: sizeof(struct iwl_nvm_data) + sizeof(struct ieee80211_channel) + sizeof (struct ieee80211_rate) 'mvm->nvm_data' es una 'struct iwl_nvm_data', por lo que est\u00e1 bien. Al final de esta estructura, se encuentra la matriz flexible de 'canales'. Cada elemento es de tipo 'struct ieee80211_channel'. Entonces solo se asigna 1 elemento en esta matriz. Al hacer: mvm->nvm_data->bands[0].channels = mvm->nvm_data->channels; Apuntamos al primer elemento de la matriz flexible 'canales'. Entonces esto est\u00e1 bien. Sin embargo, al hacer: mvm->nvm_data->bands[0].bitrates = (void *)((u8 *)mvm->nvm_data->channels + 1); debido a la conversi\u00f3n \"(u8 *)\", agregamos solo 1 a la direcci\u00f3n del comienzo de la matriz flexible. Es probable que queramos apuntar a la 'estructura ieee80211_rate' asignada justo despu\u00e9s. Retire la fundici\u00f3n espuria para que la aritm\u00e9tica del puntero funcione como se esperaba."
