How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: Fix response handling in iwl_mvm_send_recovery_cmd()

  1. The size of the response packet is not validated.
  2. The response buffer is not freed.

Resolve these issues by switching to iwl_mvm_send_cmd_status(), which handles both size validation and frees the buffer.
