A management action frame\nshorter than that (e.g. exactly 24 bytes, the minimum a malicious\npeer can send) causes a 1-2 byte out-of-bounds read.\n\nThis is reachable from rtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() and\ncfg80211_rtw_mgmt_tx() in ioctl_cfg80211.c, both of which pass\nattacker/user-influenced frame buffers and lengths straight through.\n\nAdd the missing length check before frame_body is dereferenced.","modified":"2026-09-18T05:37:08Z","published":"2026-09-16T11:17:14Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-90017"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90017"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-101631.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
