- wifi: ath6kl: fix OOB access from firmware ADDBA window size aggr_recv_addba_req_evt() logs a debug
message when the firmware-supplied win_sz is outside [AGGR_WIN_SZ_MIN, AGGR_WIN_SZ_MAX] but does not
return. The out-of-range win_sz is then used in TID_WINDOW_SZ() to compute a kzalloc size and stored in
rxtid->hold_q_sz, leading to zero-size or overflowed allocations and subsequent out-of-bounds access.
Clean up any previously active aggregation session for the TID first, then return early when win_sz is out
of the valid range, instead of proceeding with a broken allocation size. (CVE-2026-68199)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
