Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31548)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in cfg80211 PMSR handling when closing the nl80211 socket that originated a PMSR request while the interface is concurrently being torn down. A local user can trigger concurrent abort processing and interface teardown to cause a denial of service.

The issue can result in the driver's abort_pmsr callback operating on a torn-down interface.
