CVE-2024-27410 is a type-confusion vulnerability in the Linux kernel Wi-Fi nl80211 subsystem. When a request simultaneously changes a wireless interface type to mesh mode and changes its mesh ID, nl80211 can write mesh-related state into the active member of the wireless-device union for the interface's prior type. The resulting union-member overwrite causes cfg80211_change_iface() to operate on invalid or incompatible configuration data. The upstream fix rejects interface-type changes when a mesh-ID change is requested.
