Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common()

One error handler of wfx_init_common() return without calling

ieee80211_free_hw(hw), which may result in memory leak. And I add

one err label to unify the error handler, which is useful for the

subsequent changes.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
