Remove mwifiex driver on RHEL7?
by steve_button from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VYVZ)
Hi,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1716992
CVE-2019-10126 is a problem with a buffer overflow in the mwifiex driver. My question is, why do I need this driver installed in my kernel at all anyway? Rather than patching the driver, can it be removed altogether? How would I go about doing that safely?
Thanks,
