24 security issues in bullseye high

There are 24 open security issues in bullseye.

3 important issues:

CVE-2025-26402: Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) NPU Drivers within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
CVE-2025-26405: Improper control of dynamically-managed code resources for some Intel(R) NPU Drivers within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires passive user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
CVE-2025-32735: Improper conditions check in some firmware for some Intel(R) NPU Drivers within Ring 1: Device Drivers may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

21 issues postponed or untriaged:

CVE-2023-4969: (needs triaging) A GPU kernel can read sensitive data from another GPU kernel (even from another user or app) through an optimized GPU memory region called _local memory_ on various architectures.
CVE-2020-24586: (needs triaging) The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that received fragments be cleared from memory after (re)connecting to a network. Under the right circumstances, when another device sends fragmented frames encrypted using WEP, CCMP, or GCMP, this can be abused to inject arbitrary network packets and/or exfiltrate user data.
CVE-2020-24587: (needs triaging) The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that all fragments of a frame are encrypted under the same key. An adversary can abuse this to decrypt selected fragments when another device sends fragmented frames and the WEP, CCMP, or GCMP encryption key is periodically renewed.
CVE-2020-24588: (needs triaging) The 802.11 standard that underpins Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) doesn't require that the A-MSDU flag in the plaintext QoS header field is authenticated. Against devices that support receiving non-SSP A-MSDU frames (which is mandatory as part of 802.11n), an adversary can abuse this to inject arbitrary network packets.
CVE-2021-23168: (needs triaging) Out of bounds read for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2021-23223: (needs triaging) Improper initialization for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2021-37409: (needs triaging) Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2021-44545: (needs triaging) Improper input validation for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2022-21181: (needs triaging) Improper input validation for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2022-27635: (needs triaging) Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2022-36351: (needs triaging) Improper input validation in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2022-38076: (needs triaging) Improper input validation in some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2022-40964: (needs triaging) Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2022-46329: (needs triaging) Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
CVE-2023-35061: (needs triaging) Improper initialization for the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless and Intel(R) Killer(TM) Wi-Fi software before version 22.240 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via adjacent access.
CVE-2023-38417: (needs triaging) Improper input validation for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software before version 23.20 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2023-47210: (needs triaging) Improper input validation for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi software for linux before version 23.20 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2024-23198: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) Improper input validation in firmware for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel(R) Killer(TM) Wi-Fi products before version 23.40 may allow an unauthenticated user to enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2024-24984: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) Improper input validation for some Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) products for Windows before version 23.40 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.
CVE-2024-25563: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) Improper initialization in firmware for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software and Intel(R) Killer(TM) Wi-Fi before version 23.40 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 20260221-2, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:

commit 8d3f9c7c19f005b518fdc2d6bb2c4a525c7f439d
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 12 17:36:46 2026 +0100

    d/salsa-ci.yml: Disable piuparts job which fails due to common pipeline bug
    
    Currently the environment used by the Salsa CI pipeline for piuparts
    appears to only configure APT sources for the main archive section and
    the newly-built binary packages.  This means that firmware-qcom-soc's
    dependency on firmware-qcom-dsp can never be resolved and the piuparts
    job always fails.
    
    This issue is tracked as
    <https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/552>.
    
    Disable the job for now.
