How to fix?

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: wlcore: ensure skb headroom before skb_push

This avoids occasional skb_under_panic Oops from wl1271_tx_work. In this case, headroom is less than needed (typically 110 - 94 = 16 bytes).
