In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: Add missing hw_ops->get_ring_selector() for IPQ5018 During sending data after clients connected, hw_ops->get_ring_selector() will be called. But for IPQ5018, this member isn't set, and the following NULL pointer exception will be occurred: [ 38.840478] 8<--- cut here --- [ 38.840517] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ...
