Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46152)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause incorrect packet processing.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in ieee80211_invoke_fast_rx() when processing packets in parallel RX paths. A local user can trigger concurrent packet processing to cause incorrect packet processing.

This issue arises because concurrent callers share a single rx_result instance, which can be overwritten between ieee80211_rx_mesh_data() and the subsequent switch on the result.
