  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  wifi: mac80211: don\u0027t WARN for connections on invalid channels  It\u0027s not clear (to me) how exactly syzbot managed to hit this, but it seems conceivable that e.g. regulatory changed and has disabled a channel between scanning (channel is checked to be usable by cfg80211_get_ies_channel_number) and connecting on the channel later.  With one scenario that isn\u0027t covered elsewhere described above, the warning isn\u0027t good, replace it with a (more informative) error message.",
