medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 459526

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: init wiphy_work before
 allocating rfkill fails syzbort reported a uninitialize wiphy_work_lock in cfg80211_dev_free. [1] After
 rfkill allocation fails, the wiphy release process will be performed, which will cause cfg80211_dev_free
 to access the uninitialized wiphy_work related data. Move the initialization of wiphy_work to before
 rfkill initialization to avoid this issue. [1] INFO: trying to register non-static key. The code is fine
 but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe you didn't initialize this object before use? turning off the
 locking correctness validator. CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5935 Comm: syz-executor550 Not tainted
