In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath11k: Fix frames flush failure caused by deadlock
We are seeing below warnings:
kernel: [25393.301506] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to flush mgmt transmit queue 0
kernel: [25398.421509] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to flush mgmt transmit queue 0
kernel: [25398.421831] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: dropping mgmt frame for vdev 0, is_started 0
this means ath11k fails to flush mgmt. frames because wmi_mgmt_tx_work
has no chance to run in 5 seconds.
By setting /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs to 20 and increasing
ATH11K_FLUSH_TIMEOUT to 50 we get below warnings:

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
