Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: validate sta_mask before ffs() in BA session handlers

Three BA session handlers use ffs(ba_data->sta_mask) - 1 to derive a
station ID without checking that sta_mask is non-zero. When sta_mask is
zero, ffs() returns 0 and the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF, causing
an out-of-bounds access on fw_id_to_link_sta[].

Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!ba_data->sta_mask) guards before each ffs() call,
consistent with the existing check in iwl_mld_ampdu_rx_start().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64255 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
