Hi Arend and everyone on the mailing lists, I'm reporting a driver crash in brcmfmac that can be triggered by an iPhone with iOS 18.6.1 or newer. This issue allows a remote, unauthenticated device to crash the Wi-Fi driver, leading to a denial of service. The full details, including complete crash logs and a step-by-step reproduction guide, are available on the GitHub issue page: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/7033 For a quick reference, here are the key details: * Affected devices: A Raspberry Pi running as a Wi-Fi access point. * Trigger: An iPhone with iOS > 18.6.1 attempts to view the properties of the Wi-Fi network. * Root cause (based on preliminary analysis): The driver panics, possibly due to a malformed or unexpected frame. Please let me know if you need any additional information to debug this issue. Thank you for your time and attention. Regards, -- Ken Chou
