CVE-2026-64117 in Linux
요약
\~에 의해 MITRE • 2026. 07. 19.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: capture fast-RX rate before mesh reuses skb->cb
ieee80211_invoke_fast_rx() reads RX status through IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb), which aliases the same skb->cb storage that ieee80211_rx_mesh_data() reuses as IEEE80211_TX_INFO. In the unicast forward path, mesh_data does:
info = IEEE80211_SKB_CB(fwd_skb); memset(info, 0, sizeof(*info));
on the same skb the caller still names via rx->skb, then either queues the skb for TX (success) or kfree_skb()'s it (no-route) before returning RX_QUEUED. The caller's RX_QUEUED arm then calls sta_stats_encode_rate(status) on memory that is either zeroed (success path) or freed (no-route path). The latter is KASAN slab-use-after-free in ieee80211_prepare_and_rx_handle.
Fix by encoding the rate from status before invoking ieee80211_rx_mesh_data(), so the RX_QUEUED arm consumes a value captured while status was still backed by valid memory.
Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
