Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
在 Linux 内核中，已修复以下漏洞： wifi: nl80211: 在出错时清理 color-change 信标数据 调用 来解析 模板，该函数可能会为 分配 和 。如果解析失败，原代码直接返回错误，而未使用 标签进行清理，导致在错误发生前已完成的内存分配发生泄漏。 修复方法：在解析 之前预先分配嵌套属性表。这样，如果属性表分配失败，可以在信标数据生成之前直接返回；而如果后续解析过程中出现失败，则通过 标签释放已解析出的数据。

Vulnerability Title
wifi: nl80211: clean up color-change beacon data on errors
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: clean up color-change beacon data on errors
nl80211_color_change() calls nl80211_parse_beacon() for the beacon_next
template, which can allocate params.beacon_next.mbssid_ies and .rnr_ies.
A parsing failure returned directly instead of using the out: cleanup,
leaking any allocations completed before the error.
Allocate the nested attribute table before parsing beacon_next. Its
allocation failure can then return before beacon data exists, while a
later parsing failure uses out: to release the parsed data.
