CVE-2024-57989 is a NULL-pointer dereference vulnerability in the Linux kernel MediaTek mt76 mt7925 Wi-Fi driver. In mt7925_change_vif_links(), the return value of devm_kzalloc() is used without first verifying that the allocation succeeded. An allocation failure can therefore cause the kernel to dereference a NULL pointer. The issue was introduced in Linux kernel 6.11 and affects the mt7925 driver code.
