Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: fix wrong pci_get_drvdata type in AER handlers
rtw88 stores an ieee80211_hw pointer via pci_set_drvdata() at probe
time, but io_error_detected() and io_resume() retrieve it as a
net_device pointer. This causes netif_device_detach/attach to
operate on an ieee80211_hw struct, reading and writing at wrong
offsets.
Use ieee80211_stop_queues/wake_queues instead, consistent with
every other queue stop/start path in the driver.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74412 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
