CVE-2025-21905 is an out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel Intel iwlwifi Wi-Fi driver. While processing firmware-file TLVs, iwlwifi could print firmware-supplied string data without ensuring it was NUL-terminated. An unterminated value could cause the string-printing operation to read past the relevant TLV boundary and, when the TLV is the final element, potentially past the firmware-file buffer. The upstream fix constrains the printed string to the available buffer length.
