Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "wifi: mac80211: fix memory leak in ieee80211_if_add()"
This reverts commit 13e5afd3d773c6fc6ca2b89027befaaaa1ea7293.
ieee80211_if_free() is already called from free_netdev(ndev) because ndev->priv_destructor == ieee80211_if_free
