Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98292)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98292). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtksdio, btmtkuart: validate WMT event length before struct access
btmtksdio.c and btmtkuart.c cast a received WMT event straight to
struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt and read its op/flag fields without checking
the event is long enough to contain them, unlike btmtk.c. The
FUNC_CTRL case then further casts to struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt_funcc
and reads its 2-byte status field, again without a length check.
Firmware that sends a short or malformed WMT event makes both drivers
read past the end of the received SKB.
Mirror btmtk.c: validate the base WMT header with skb_pull_data()
before touching any of its fields, and when a FUNC_CTRL event turns
out to be the short, header-only form (a plain enable/disable ack
with no status word), decode the result from the header's own flag
byte instead (0 = success, otherwise failure).
Verified setup on MT7920, MT7921, MT7922 and MT7925: no regression.

CVE-2026-98292 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
