If a grace period elapses in between,\nthe cleanup operates on freed memory.\n\nRun mt76_reset_device() first, so the wcid entries are cleaned up and\ncleared while the links are still valid.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
