Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64223)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in ieee80211_parse_neg_ttlm() when parsing negotiated TTLM elements with sparse link-map presence bits. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted negotiated TTLM element to disclose sensitive information.

The read data is written into negotiated link-map fields but is gated by valid_links before any driver state is affected.
