However, if that bit is set to 1, the logic used for checking\nfor configured BIGTK(s) does not actually work. If the driver does not\nhave logic for dropping unicast Beacon frames with Protected Frame bit\n1, these frames would be accepted in mac80211 processing as valid Beacon\nframes even though they are not protected. This would allow beacon\nprotection to be bypassed. While the logic for checking beacon\nprotection could be extended to cover this corner case, a more generic\ncheck for discard all Beacon frames based on A1=unicast address covers\nthis without needing additional changes.\n\nAddress all these issues by dropping received Beacon frames if they are\nsent to a non-broadcast address."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\nwifi: mac80211: Descartar tramas Beacon a direcciones que no son de difusi\u00f3n\n\nLas tramas Beacon deben ser enviadas a la direcci\u00f3n de difusi\u00f3n, v\u00e9ase IEEE Std 802.11-2020, 11.1.3.1 ('El campo Direcci\u00f3n 1 de la trama Beacon .. debe establecerse a la direcci\u00f3n de difusi\u00f3n').
