Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-41071: ELSA-2024-6994: kernel security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Avoid address calculations via out of bounds array indexing
req->n_channels must be set before req->channels[] can be used.
This patch fixes one of the issues encountered in [1].

An out-of-bounds buffer overflow has been found in the Linux kernel’s mac80211 subsystem when scanning for SSIDs. Address calculation using out-of-bounds array indexing could result in an attacker crafting an exploit, resulting in the complete compromise of a system.
