Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Incorrect comparison (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98339)

CWE-ID: CWE-697 - Incorrect Comparison

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a kernel warning.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect BSS type comparison in cfg80211_update_assoc_bss_entry() when updating an associated access point's BSS entry after a channel change. A remote attacker can operate a rogue access point that switches to a channel containing an existing BSS entry with a mismatched advertised type to trigger a kernel warning.

The retained entry collides with the associated access point's entry in the BSS red-black tree during cfg80211_rehash_bss().
