Agree. Can you please check the commit log below?

Commit 'b102f0c522cf6 ("mt76: fix array overflow on receiving too many
fragments for a packet")' fixes a possible OOB access but it introduces a
memory leak since the pending frame is not released to page_frag_cache if
the frag array of skb_shared_info is full.
Commit '93a1d4791c10 ("mt76: dma: fix a possible memory leak in
mt76_add_fragment()")' fixes the issue but does not free the truncated skb that
is forwarded to mac80211 layer. Fix the leftover issue discarding even truncated
skbs.
