A security flaw was discovered in the nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in net/wireless/nl80211.c in the Linux kernel through 4.13.3. This function does not check whether the required attributes are present in a Netlink request. This request can be issued by a user with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and may result in a NULL pointer dereference and system crash.

CVE-2017-12153 kernel: null pointer dereference in nl80211_set_rekey_data()
A security flaw is present in nl80211_set_rekey_data() function in the Linux kernel since v3.1-rc1 through v4.13. This function does not check whether required attributes are present in a netlink request. This request can be issued by a user with CAP_NET_ADMIN privilege and may result in NULL dereference and a system crash.
Vulnerability surface:
An analysis shows that NL80211_CMD_SET_REKEY_OFFLOAD request should be issued for a WiFi interface connected to a wireless network. This means that an attacker should be a privileged user already or should be root in a user+net namespace to which a WiFi interface was moved from a main net namespace. We believe the later configuration to be unlikely.
