  - wifi: rtw89: correct drop logic for malformed AMPDU frames The previous commit aims to fix issue caused by
    malformed AMPDU frames. But the drop logic fails to deal with the first AMPDU packet paired with certain
    range of sequence number, and leads to unexpected packet drop. It is more likely to encounter this failure
    when there are busy traffic during rekey process and could lead to disconnection from the AP. Fix this by
    adding a initial state judgement and only reset status during pairwise rekey. (CVE-2026-64506)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
