Summary
In the Linux kernel, the staging rtl8723bs driver has a memory leak on error paths in issue_beacon(), issue_probersp(), and issue_asocrsp(). When an error occurs after a successful alloc_mgtxmitframe() but before dump_mgntframe(), the management xmit_frame and xmit_buf are neither freed nor placed on any list. Repeated occurrences progressively exhaust the management-TX pools until the interface can no longer send beacons or probe/assoc responses.
Risk Assessment
An attacker or adverse network conditions can repeatedly trigger the error paths (e.g., oversized beacon, excessive IE length, invalid packet type), leading to pool exhaustion and denial of service on the wireless interface. This results in loss of Wi-Fi connectivity and requires a driver or system restart.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-100076, which frees the frame and buffer on the affected error paths. If updating is not possible, consider disabling or restricting the rtl8723bs driver on devices exposed to the triggering conditions.

- CVE-2026-122041Critical
The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (Pro) plugin for WordPress up to and including 3.8.0 is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of arbitrary attachments due to a missing capability/ownership check in the ajax_remove_uploaded() function. The handler is registered for both wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv and gated solely by the 'file_handling_nonce' nonce, which is exposed in the public checkout page markup.

The Registration Form for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing allow-list check in FormHandler::validate_checkout_fields() in versions up to and including 1.1.4. The checkout registration path stores the raw $_POST['user_roles'] value without validation, and add_user_data() injects it as the new account's role.

The LatePoint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass via account takeover in versions up to and including 5.7.6. OsModel::build_conditions_query() compares WHERE-clause values against literal strings 'IS NULL' and 'IS NOT NULL' and concatenates a match directly into SQL without binding, allowing unauthenticated attackers to send params[password_reset_token]=IS NOT NULL to the public customer_cabinet__change_password AJAX route and overwrite the lowest-id customer's password.

The Naimur Email OTP Verification for WooCommerce plugin is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to and including 2.1.0. The password-reset finalization endpoint authorizes the reset solely by the presence of a database row marking an email as 'VERIFIED', with no timestamp check, session binding, or per-reset token, and the scheduled cleanup cron has no handler so it never runs.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix xmit_frame/xmit_buf leaks on mgnt-frame error paths issue_beacon(), issue_probersp() and issue_asocrsp() obtain a management xmit_frame together with its xmit_buf from the driver's fixed-size management-TX pools via alloc_mgtxmitframe(). On the normal path the frame is handed to dump_mgntframe(), which transfers ownership and eventually returns both objects to their pools (the frame and, for beacons, the buf in rtl8723bs_mgnt_xmit(); other bufs via the pending-xmitbuf/TX-completion path). Several error/edge paths return early after a successful alloc_mgtxmitframe() but before dump_mgntframe(), so ownership is never transferred and neither object is freed: - issue_beacon(): beacon larger than 512 bytes - issue_probersp(): cur_network->ie_length > MAX_IE_SZ - issue_probersp(): kzalloc() of the SSID scratch buffer fails - issue_asocrsp(): pkt_type is neither ASSOCRSP nor REASSOCRSP Because alloc_mgtxmitframe() removes the frame and buf from their free lists (list_del_init) without placing them on any pending list, an orphaned pair is on no list and referenced by nobody, so it is only reclaimed at driver teardown. Repeated hits progressively exhaust the management-TX pools until alloc_mgtxmitframe() returns NULL and the interface can no longer send beacons or probe/assoc responses. Free the frame and buffer on these paths, matching the existing correct error handling in issue_assocreq().
