CVE-2026-98345

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98345)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98345). 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:

wifi: cfg80211: check IP header size in cfg80211_classify8021d()

A frame that looks like IP can be transmitted, but be too short, so
the DS field is read incorrectly:

BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in cfg80211_classify8021d+0x99d/0x12b0 net/wireless/util.c:1027
cfg80211_classify8021d+0x99d/0x12b0 net/wireless/util.c:1027

Use skb_header_pointer() like the MPLS case.
