It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-54229 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54229/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54229/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54229","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54229/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54229","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54229","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54229","GHSA-6p8q-gjxv-fgh3","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54229"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A typo in the ath11k driver causes WiFi registration failure for specific 6GHz hardware, leading to a denial of service for wireless connectivity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath11k: fix registration of 6Ghz-only phy without the full channel range\n\nBecause of what seems to be a typo, a 6Ghz-only phy for which the BDF\ndoes not allow the 7115Mhz channel will fail to register:\n\n  WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 106 at net/wireless/core.c:907 wiphy_register+0x914/0x954\n  Modules linked in: ath11k_pci sbsa_gwdt\n  CPU: 2 PID: 106 Comm: kworker/u8:5 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7-next-20230418-00549-g1e096a17625a-dirty #9\n  Hardware name: Freebox V7R Board (DT)\n  Workqueue: ath11k_qmi_driver_event ath11k_qmi_driver_event_work\n  pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\n  pc : wiphy_register+0x914/0x954\n  lr : ieee80211_register_hw+0x67c/0xc10\n  sp : ffffff800b123aa0\n  x29: ffffff800b123aa0 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: 0000000000000000\n  x26: 0000000000000000 x25: 0000000000000006 x24: ffffffc008d51418\n  x23: ffffffc008cb0838 x22: ffffff80176c2460 x21: 0000000000000168\n  x20: ffffff80176c0000 x19: ffffff80176c03e0 x18: 0000000000000014\n  x17: 00000000cbef338c x16: 00000000d2a26f21 x15: 00000000ad6bb85f\n  x14: 0000000000000020 x13: 0000000000000020 x12: 00000000ffffffbd\n  x11: 0000000000000208 x10: 00000000fffffdf7 x9 : ffffffc009394718\n  x8 : ffffff80176c0528 x7 : 000000007fffffff x6 : 0000000000000006\n  x5 : 0000000000000005 x4 : ffffff800b304284 x3 : ffffff800b304284\n  x2 : ffffff800b304d98 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000\n  Call trace:\n   wiphy_register+0x914/0x954\n   ieee80211_register_hw+0x67c/0xc10\n   ath11k_mac_register+0x7c4/0xe10\n   ath11k_core_qmi_firmware_ready+0x1f4/0x570\n   ath11k_qmi_driver_event_work+0x198/0x590\n   process_one_work+0x1b8/0x328\n   worker_thread+0x6c/0x414\n   kthread+0x100/0x104\n   ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n  ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---\n  ath11k_pci 0002:01:00.0: ieee80211 registration failed: -22\n  ath11k_pci 0002:01:00.0: failed register the radio with mac80211: -22\n  ath11k_pci 0002:01:00.0: failed to create pdev core: -22","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"wifi: ath11k: fix registration of 6Ghz-only phy without the full channel range","id":"CVE-2023-54229","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"amba: bus: fix refcount leak","id":"CVE-2023-54230"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"regulator: raa215300: Fix resource leak in case of error","id":"CVE-2023-54228"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-30","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A typo in the ath11k driver causes WiFi registration failure for specific 6GHz hardware, leading to a denial of service for wireless connectivity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54229/"}
