CVE-2026-90366

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7996: reserve space for the CSA-abort countdown TLV When a CSA countdown is active, mt7996_mcu_beacon_cntdwn() emits two bss_bcn_cntdwn_tlv entries (the CSA countdown and the CCA-abort BCC), but MT7996_BEACON_UPDATE_SIZE only reserved one. With MBSSID enabled and a near-maximum beacon template the extra 8 bytes could push the offload command past MT7996_MAX_BSS_OFFLOAD_SIZE and trigger skb_over_panic(). Reserve room for both countdown TLVs.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
