## Overview

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.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 5.1, < 5.4.285`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.229`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.171`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.116`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.60`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.11.7`
- `linux_kernel = 6.12`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.11.7`
