CVE-2025-38121

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: iwlwifi: mld: avoid panic on init failure<br /> <br /> In case of an error during init, in_hw_restart will be set, but it will<br /> never get cleared.<br /> Instead, we will retry to init again, and then we will act like we are in a<br /> restart when we are actually not.<br /> <br /> This causes (among others) to a NULL pointer dereference when canceling<br /> rx_omi::finished_work, that was not even initialized, because we thought<br /> that we are in hw_restart.<br /> <br /> Set in_hw_restart to true only if the fw is running, then we know that<br /> FW was loaded successfully and we are not going to the retry loop.
