{"id":"CVE-2026-98710","summary":"wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove\n\nil3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for\nthe EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with\nil_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a\nsuccessful probe.\n\nAs a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.\n\nFree the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the\nmac80211 hardware structure.\n\nThis issue was found by manual code inspection.","modified":"2026-10-19T02:47:14.131368722Z","published":"2026-10-18T15:46:40.790Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98710.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/89f9d6186dc7429f38132635526e28549c913c0b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ab7bee2cd55f665cb29fa0ace2ec14020e0a452e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd8f8f45d81aac384311701d7ffe26567af2e783"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8ebe286394c0bbb4a6dbacb182a34ab6376922d"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98710.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98710"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"073d3f5f1b3b6512eb82a3d40c84dedb14dc6f73"},{"fixed":"ab7bee2cd55f665cb29fa0ace2ec14020e0a452e"},{"fixed":"cd8f8f45d81aac384311701d7ffe26567af2e783"},{"fixed":"89f9d6186dc7429f38132635526e28549c913c0b"},{"fixed":"f8ebe286394c0bbb4a6dbacb182a34ab6376922d"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98710.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"2.6.27"},{"fixed":"6.12.113"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.56"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98710.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
