CVE Catalog

CVE-2026-90351

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the mt76 wifi driver (mt7996), if the WED attach for the primary PCIe function fails, the probe path still attaches wed_hif2 for the secondary function, leaving the device in an inconsistent half-WED configuration that crashes later. The hif2 call also re-enabled hwrro_mode, which the failed primary attach had just turned off.

Risk Assessment

An inconsistent WED configuration leads to device crashes and system instability after a failed primary WED initialization. Affects devices with the MediaTek mt7996 chipset.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that skips the hif2 WED setup when the primary WED device is not active. Monitor logs for WED attach errors.
