CVE-2026-23152

MediumCVSS 5.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the wifi mac80211 subsystem incorrectly decodes TTLM (TID-To-Link Mapping) elements with a default link map. When a default mapping is used, parsing is not skipped properly, causing a one-byte read beyond the end of the element.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to an out-of-bounds read, potentially causing a system crash or information disclosure, especially in Wi-Fi environments.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that correctly skips parsing TTLM with a default link map.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: correctly decode TTLM with default link map TID-To-Link Mapping (TTLM) elements do not contain any link mapping presence indicator if a default mapping is used and parsing needs to be skipped. Note that access points should not explicitly report an advertised TTLM with a default mapping as that is the implied mapping if the element is not included, this is even the case when switching back to the default mapping. However, mac80211 would incorrectly parse the frame and would also read one byte beyond the end of the element.
