Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ath10k: fix dma_free_coherent() pointer

dma_alloc_coherent() allocates a DMA mapped buffer and stores the addresses in XXX_unaligned fields. Those should be reused when freeing the buffer rather than the aligned addresses.
