Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in wifi mac80211 involves calling __dev_queue_xmit() with interrupts disabled, leading to a warning in __local_bh_enable_ip. A two-phase skb reclamation was implemented in ieee80211_do_stop().

Risk Assessment

This can lead to system instability or crashes. It affects systems running vulnerable Linux kernel versions using mac80211.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix, which implements two-phase skb reclamation outside the interrupts-disabled section. Apply security updates.
