Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98194)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause the kernel to dereference freed memory.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter() in the libertas_tf wireless driver when freeing command buffers while the command timer callback is still running. A local user can cause adapter cleanup to overlap with an active command timer callback to cause the kernel to dereference freed memory.

The command_timer_fn callback accesses priv->cur_cmd->cmdbuf.
