Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90380). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt792x: fix use-after-free in mt76_rx_poll_complete
A use-after-free issue occurs in mt76_rx_poll_complete due to a race
condition. The STA has already been removed, but the rx_status still
had a pointer to the wcid in the STA.
Set the links' wcid pointers to be NULL for a MLD in
mt7925_sta_pre_rcu_remove()
