What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: cfg80211: clear wdev->cqm_config pointer on free

When we free wdev->cqm_config when unregistering, we also

need to clear out the pointer since the same wdev/netdev

may get re-registered in another network namespace, then

destroyed later, running this code again, which results in

a double-free.
