Then, pass the params->pmkid to the\nfirmware (without it, the firmware caches a garbage PMKID on successful\nauthentication and denies a subsequent association request that includes\nthe PMKID).\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
