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: rtw88: use
 ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() to purge TX skb When removing kernel modules by: rmmod rtw88_8723cs rtw88_8703b
 rtw88_8723x rtw88_sdio rtw88_core Driver uses skb_queue_purge() to purge TX skb, but not report tx status
 causing "Have pending ack frames!" warning. Use ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() to correct this. Since
 ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() doesn't take locks, to prevent racing between TX work and purge TX queue, flush
 and destroy TX work in advance. wlan0: deauthenticating from aa:f5:fd:60:4c:a8 by local choice (Reason:
