What to do

AI-suggested

A fix has been applied in the Linux kernel to address this issue. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix.

Description

A null pointer dereference vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rtw89 WiFi driver was fixed. The issue occurred during scan cancellation when the code might use a virtual interface (vif) that was not actually scanning. The fix involves using the correct scanning vif to prevent null pointer access.
