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: iwlwifi: pcie: 释放后 RX 指针未置空 当 在 RX 初始化之后失败时，网卡初始化会通过 进行回滚清理。 然而，已释放的 RX 成员在活动的传输对象中仍保持非 NULL 状态，导致后续的拆除（teardown）或重试操作可能访问到已过时的 RX 状态。 将 、 、 和 在释放后设置为 NULL，以确保重复清理和重试路径的安全性。

Vulnerability Title
wifi: iwlwifi: pcie: null RX pointers after free
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: pcie: null RX pointers after free
When iwl_pcie_tx_init() fails after RX init, nic init unwinds via
iwl_pcie_rx_free().
The freed RX members stayed non-NULL on the live transport object,
so later teardown or retry could touch stale RX state.
Set rx_pool, global_table, rxq, and alloc_page to NULL after free
to make repeated cleanup and retry paths safe.
