Upgrade Debian:11 linux-6.1 to version 6.1.164-1~deb11u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.1 package and not the linux-6.1 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: mac80211: ocb: skip rx_no_sta when interface is not joined

ieee80211_ocb_rx_no_sta() assumes a valid channel context, which is only present after JOIN_OCB.

RX may run before JOIN_OCB is executed, in which case the OCB interface is not operational. Skip RX peer handling when the interface is not joined to avoid warnings in the RX path.
