Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-20 18:01:42 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: wl1251: fix memory leak in wl1251_tx_work

The skb dequeued from tx_queue is lost when wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup fails
with a -ETIMEDOUT error. Fix that by queueing the skb back to tx_queue.
