CVE Catalog

CVE-2026-90365

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, both mt76 wifi drivers cancelled dump_work on unregister but left reset_work and rc_work to be flushed only by destroy_workqueue() in mt76_free_device(), which runs after the hw is unregistered and the hardware stopped. A reset_work that fires in that window calls ieee80211_restart_hw() and re-arms mac_work on an unregistered hw, and rc_work touches station state being torn down.

Risk Assessment

Use-after-free and operations on unregistered hardware can cause kernel panics or system instability during device removal.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that cancels reset_work and rc_work up front, alongside dump_work, on device unregister.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: cancel reset and rc work on device unregister Both drivers cancelled dump_work on unregister but left reset_work and rc_work to be flushed only by destroy_workqueue() in mt76_free_device(), which runs after the hw is unregistered and the hardware stopped. A reset_work that fires in that window calls ieee80211_restart_hw() and re-arms mac_work on an unregistered hw, and rc_work touches station state being torn down. Cancel both up front, alongside dump_work.
