CVE-2026-90352

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the mt76 wifi driver (mt7915), the hif2 reference obtained by mt7915_pci_init_hif2() is only released on error paths that key off dev->hif2, which is not assigned until after the IRQ setup. If pci_alloc_irq_vectors() or the primary devm_request_irq() fails, the reference leaks.

Risk Assessment

A leaked device reference during failed IRQ initialization can lead to resource management issues and system instability on repeated probe attempts. Affects hardware with the MediaTek mt7915 chipset.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that explicitly drops the reference via mt7915_put_hif2() on those error paths. Verify stability after failed device initialization attempts.
