Out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-23363

Vulnerability identifier: #VU124477

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23363

CWE-ID: CWE-787

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the mt7925_mac_write_txwi_80211 function when handling Wi-Fi management frames. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted 802.11 frame with a short length to trigger an out-of-bounds access and crash the system.

Exploitation does not require authentication or user interaction.
