Details
A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.147/6.12.100/6.18.41/7.1.5/7.2-rc4. It has been classified as very critical. This affects the function ath11k_hal_rx_msdu_list_get of the component ath11k. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix potential buffer underflow in ath11k_hal_rx_msdu_list_get() When the first entry in msdu_details has a zero buffer address, the code accesses msdu_details[i - 1] with i == 0, causing a buffer underflow. Fix similarly to ath12k_wifi7_hal_rx_msdu_list_get() by adding a separate check for i == 0 before the main condition to prevent the out-of-bounds access. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-68355 since 07/30/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/10/2026).
Upgrading to version 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, 7.1.6 or 7.2-rc5 eliminates this vulnerability.
